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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Woody amber musk Tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes from Iso E Super

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

It starts with a zingy hit of ginger and bright citrus, invigorating the senses before settling into a heart of spiced violet and warm cinnamon. The base is an inviting blend of clean Iso E Super, soft cashmeran, and earthy woods, giving it a modern, smooth finish that's both comforting and sophisticated.
