Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate performance and gentle sillage make it suitable for casual wear or an intimate date, avoiding overwhelming those around you. The surprising powdery clean notes also make it a decent office choice, but its lack of true gourmand sweetness limits its formal appeal.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Upon first spray, a surprising wave of powdery notes hits before settling into a soft, creamy vanilla. Hints of toasted almond and a touch of apricot may emerge, but the promised caramel is largely elusive. It evolves into a gentle, musky warmth rather than a sticky gourmand.
