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.

Date Formal

With its moderate longevity and sillage, Tragedy Oil makes a statement without overwhelming, making it perfect for a date or a formal event. It's too distinct and glamorous for casual wear or the office, and certainly not suited for sport.

About

Tragedy Oil opens with a cool, almost medicinal hit of fir balsam, quickly joined by a buttery, intense tuberose. This isn't your typical bright floral; instead, it's deep and rich, underscored by earthy oakmoss. As it settles, creamy sandalwood emerges, adding a sensual warmth that balances the initial coolness, creating a complex and alluring scent journey.
