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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an earthy green blast of grass, cardamom, and coriander, like stepping into a dense, fragrant forest. The heart unfolds with powdery violet, jasmine, and unique black hemlock, adding an almost unsettling edge. The drydown settles into a rich, complex base of vetiver, cedar, amber, sandalwood, and a prominent, slightly animalic oud, weaving a tapestry of dark woods and spice.
