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.

Date

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage mean it commands attention, making it less suitable for casual or office wear unless you're the boss. However, its sophisticated, dark, and challenging profile makes it intriguing for formal events and daring date nights, especially in the evening.

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

Imagine stepping into an abandoned factory at night, the air thick with the ghost of industry. An initial aldehydic flash quickly gives way to dry papyrus and a complex, smoky leather, infused with a distinct animalic growl from castoreum. Incense and labdanum add a deep, resinous almost ceremonial feel, while amberwood and cedar provide a solid, dark foundation, evoking the smell of machinery, oil, and black ink on paper.
