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.

Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its bold, smoky, and resinous nature, along with a prominent oud accord, makes it less ideal for office settings but perfect for evening dates and more formal gatherings. The warmth and depth also suit cooler casual wear.

About

Opens with an intriguing, slightly skanky green note, quickly evolving into a rich heart of robust coffee and smoky tobacco. The woody and resinous elements provide depth, culminating in a warm, inviting amber and incense-laden drydown with a persistent whisper of oud. This isn't a shy scent; it's bold and multifaceted.
