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 complex, dark, and sensual notes make it ideal for dates and cooler weather occasions, while its intensity might be too much for casual or active wear.

About

DEV #1: Foreplay plunges you into a dark, resinous embrace, opening with a rich, almost boozy blend of labdanum and frankincense, underscored by a surprising hint of bubblegum sweetness. As it settles, a smoky oud and animalic civet emerge, intertwining with warm cinnamon and the earthy depth of beeswax and woody notes. The drydown leaves a lingering trail of musky ambergris and balsamic tolu, creating a scent that's both ancient and provocatively modern.
