Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
Its lively pepper and aromatic top notes work well in spring and fall when temperatures are mild, while the spicy warmth and woody base provide a cozy backbone for winter wear. The lack of sweetness and heavy resins makes it less ideal for the hottest summer days.
Best Occasions
Moderate projection and a fresh spicy character make it versatile for office and casual wear, while the clean, dry pepper and woody notes feel smart for day-to-night. Its assertive spiciness is less suited to sporty or highly formal black tie occasions.
