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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and unique, spicy character, particularly the strong pimiento note, make it too much for an office setting. However, its warm, sensual drydown and intriguing gourmand twists are perfect for intimate dates and cooler casual outings, with many reviewers recommending it specifically for date nights.

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.

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

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

Boldly stepping out, this scent opens with an invigorating blast of bergamot and cooling mint, quickly giving way to an intense heart of pimiento and patchouli. It's a fiery, aromatic journey that settles into a warm, creamy embrace of coffee, tonka bean, and vanilla, underpinned by sensual musk. Imagine a spicy, sophisticated dessert in fragrance form.
