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.

About

Opening with a fiery kick of chili, this fragrance immediately asserts its presence. It quickly evolves into a surprisingly complex heart where rich, sticky salted caramel mingles with smoky, almost leathery nuances. The dry down is deep and luxurious, with saffron adding a sophisticated, slightly metallic warmth that lingers with remarkable tenacity. It's a sweet but far from gourmand experience.
