Masterpiece Stairway to Heaven is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Vincent Ricord. Stairway to Heaven opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Incense, settles into a heart of Petitgrain, Jasmine, Pepper, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Masterpiece's Stairway to Heaven carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A divisive scent for the modern palate. For some, it's an intriguing journey of incense and vanilla; for others, a chaotic mishmash. Definitely not a blind buy.

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

Its citrus, vanilla and aromatic composition leans towards autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its distinctive, complex profile with prominent incense and vanilla makes it a bit too bold for a typical office setting, but perfect for dates or evening casual wear. The warmth and spice lend themselves well to cooler weather and social gatherings, though it might be a bit much for formal occasions given its modern edge. It's certainly not suited for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a zesty, almost sparkling, blast of citrus and bergamot, quickly joined by a smoky, resinous incense that sets a distinct, mysterious tone. The heart introduces a subtle floral jasmine and a kick of warming pepper and cardamom. It settles into a creamy, vanillic drydown, with soft cedar and a clean musk adding depth without overpowering the initial spice and sweetness. It's a complex ride from start to finish.
