This woody-spicy number by Nathalie Lorson is either a comforting incense dream or a spice-cabinet nightmare, depending on your skin chemistry. It's a divisive scent, so test before you commit.

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:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile enough for the office if applied lightly, but its warm, spicy character truly shines in more intimate date night settings, especially in colder weather. It's too complex and enveloping for active sports.

About

A vibrant burst of bitter orange and lemon invigorates the senses before quickly settling into a heart of fiery chili and piquant cumin, adding a dry, aromatic warmth. This spicy core then softens, melting into a sophisticated base of smoky incense and grounding guaiac wood, creating a scent that's both complex and comforting. The drydown is a rich, resinous whisper, reminiscent of ancient woods and sacred rituals.
