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 Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and longevity, combined with its strong, vintage floral-spicy profile, make it less suitable for office or casual daytime wear where subtlety is key. However, its commanding presence is perfect for evening dates or formal events where it can truly shine without overpowering the setting.

About

Red Moscow opens with a vibrant, almost boozy burst of orange blossom and bergamot, underscored by the peppery spice of coriander. This quickly matures into a heady heart of rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, with the star player-carnation-adding a clove-like, powdery depth. The base settles into a warm, comforting blend of iris, tonka bean, and vanilla, hinting at classic powdery elegance with a subtly sweet, almost dusty finish.
