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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it suitable for various settings, especially casual wear and office environments where it won't overpower. While warm and inviting for dates, its lack of intense projection and more casual, powdery vanilla character make it less ideal for formal events or sports.

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.

About

Or Boreal opens with a bright, floral burst of bergamot and freesia, gently softened by a whisper of jasmine. As it settles, a lush, powdery heart of heliotrope, vanilla, and tonka bean emerges, creating a rich, inviting sweetness. The dry-down reveals a comforting embrace of creamy sandalwood, musk, and a subtle hint of patchouli, leaving a warm and enduring trail.
