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.

About

Parfum d'Habit opens with a juicy blackcurrant and bright bergamot, quickly ushering in a warm, worn-in leather heart. Earthy patchouli and green geranium add depth, while the dry-down settles into a luxurious embrace of amber, creamy sandalwood, and a subtle hint of vanilla. It's a journey from vibrant fruit to sophisticated, lived-in leather.
