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.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Tango's intense amber and spicy profile, combined with its strong projection, makes it less suitable for casual or office wear where subtlety is preferred. It truly shines in formal evening events and especially on dates, where its alluring and sophisticated character can be fully appreciated without overpowering the environment.

About

Tango opens with a fiery blast of warm spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and a distinct cumin, which some find animalic. This potent warmth then settles into a luxurious amber heart, softened by the delicate sweetness of jasmine and rose. Benzoin adds a balsamic, resinous quality, while guaiac wood and cedar provide a deep, woody foundation, evolving into a sophisticated and slightly powdery dry-down.
