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

Best in cold or transitional weather due to its dense tobacco, honey, and gingerbread notes, which thrive in fall and winter. Too heavy and sweet for summer but can work on cooler spring days.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Statement-making, sensual, and gourmand - ideal for dates and evenings out. Its richness fits formal occasions but may be too bold for work or sport settings.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

Roaring Radcliff Eau de Parfum is a magnetic blend of dark rum, golden honey, and spiced gingerbread, swirling over a core of smoky tobacco and warm vanilla. The opening is boozy and almost gourmand, quickly joined by a lush tobacco heart that feels both opulent and slightly dangerous. A haze of spices and sweet resins wraps the composition in warmth, while woody undertones add depth. The result is a luxurious, decadent fragrance that commands attention and lingers seductively on the skin.
