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.

Its woody, fresh spicy and amber composition leans towards spring and autumn.

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its soft sillage and clean, woody-aromatic profile make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, as it's unlikely to offend. It's too subtle for a formal event, and definitely not built for the gym.

About

Imagine stepping into a sun-drenched, dust-moted library where old books mingle with the scent of green tea brewing and a distant hint of wood polish. It opens with a gentle kiss of bergamot and the aromatic spice of bay leaf, subtly softened by a creamy fig. The heart unfolds into a comforting embrace of cedar and dry hay, accented by soft florals. Finally, it settles into a clean, musky base with earthy vetiver and a whisper of sacred frankincense, grounding the whole experience.
