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 Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its natural, sophisticated woody-aromatic character makes it highly versatile for casual, date, and formal wear. While suitable for office, its strong longevity might make it a bit much for very conservative settings. It's definitely not one for the gym.

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

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove

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

Step into a post-rain woodland, where sharp cypress, verdant pine, and a hint of piquant pepper cut through the air. As the forest floor emerges, a delicate violet iris, rich fir resin, and earthy oakmoss entwine, creating a sophisticated floral-green heart. The journey culminates in a grounding base of warm labdanum, smoky birch tar, and deep myrrh, leaving an elegant, timeless impression of natural beauty.
