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 Formal

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, coupled with its dark, luxurious profile, make it less suitable for office or casual wear where it could be overpowering. However, it shines on formal occasions and dates, where its commanding presence can be appreciated.

About

Opening with a bold, rich plum that's more grown-up and less syrupy, this scent quickly transitions into an authentic, rugged leather. The heart reveals aromatic pipe tobacco, smooth and inviting, while earthy patchouli anchors the base, adding depth and a touch of smoky sophistication. It evokes the opulent atmosphere of a gentlemen's club, with leather armchairs and fine tobacco.
