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 winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With eternal longevity and strong sillage, this isn't one for the office, as it would overwhelm a confined space. Its rich gourmand character, especially the boozy notes and winter spices, makes it perfect for date nights and formal winter occasions, though some find it acceptable for casual wear when projecting a strong, confident presence.

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.

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

Alì Babà opens with a boozy hit of rum, softened by bright bursts of candied orange and a whisper of lemon zest. This rich, sweet introduction smoothly transitions into a spiced heart where warm clove and earthy patchouli provide a grounding counterpoint to the initial sweetness. The drydown settles into a cosy, complex base of creamy vanilla, warm amber, robust cedar, and a touch of moss, evoking the lingering scent of a decadent, rum-soaked dessert.
