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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it adaptable, but the complex, animalic notes lean more towards evening and intimate settings. It's too bold and potentially distracting for the office, yet its vintage glamour suits formal events and dates, offering a sophisticated allure.

About

Opens with a fizzy, slightly boozy peach that's quickly joined by an elegant, powdery violet and iris, reminiscent of classic boudoir scenes. The heart reveals a mossy, earthy depth from the oakmoss, while the base settles into a warm, sensual blend of amber and sandalwood, underscored by a surprising animalic growl from the castoreum and a sun-kissed warmth from solar notes.
