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 long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it suitable for evenings out and special events, where its unique character can shine without overwhelming. It's a bit too bold and enduring for a typical office environment or casual daytime wear, but perfect for making an impression on a date or at a formal gathering.

About

It opens with a bright, unusual zest of pomelo and grapefruit, quickly undercut by the bittersweet, rooty intrigue of licorice. This fresh yet dark accord then folds into a warm, spicy heart of nutmeg and ginger, creating a compelling tension. As it settles, a rich, balsamic blend of myrrh, opoponax, and amber emerges, anchored by earthy vetiver and cedar, leaving a profoundly elegant and slightly melancholic trail.
