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.

Best For:

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile, though its bold, raw character might be too assertive for some office environments. The classic, refined scent profile makes it suitable for casual wear and dates, but it leans slightly too rustic for truly formal events.

About

Opens with a potent, almost bracing blast of raw, earthy vetiver, sharp and green. As it settles, unexpected powdery and floral notes emerge, particularly rose, softening the initial intensity and lending a sophisticated, slightly sweet character. The drydown reveals hints of oakmoss, vanilla, and patchouli, creating a complex, timeless feel that's both dry and surprisingly nuanced.
