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 For:
Fall
Also Works:
Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its sweet, intimate nature makes it ideal for casual wear and close encounters like dates, but its very weak longevity and moderate sillage mean it won't overwhelm an office environment, though it might not last the workday. It's too playful and gourmand for formal events and entirely unsuitable for sport.

About

Balkis is built from raspberry, rose, vanilla, coffee, iris, pepper and benzoin. The fruit and rose give it a sweet, plush face, while vanilla and benzoin add a soft, resinous warmth. Coffee and pepper bring a darker, slightly dry edge, and iris adds a smooth, powdery note. Overall it reads as a warm, gourmand floral with some depth.
