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:
Spring Fall Winter

The creamy iris and vanilla paired with sesame and powdery sweetness make this ideal for fall and winter, while the spicy pink pepper and floral heart allow for spring wear. It may feel too dense and sweet for hot summer days.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Office Casual Formal

Its moderate projection and elegant powdery-gourmand character are refined enough for formal and date settings, but a bit too sweet and present for sport or highly casual wear. The scent's sophistication suits evenings and special occasions.

About

The Omniscient Mr Thompson opens with a spicy pink pepper sparkle, soon enveloped in the powdery, buttery embrace of iris. The heart is plush and creamy, unfurling into a decadent base where roasted sesame and rich vanilla merge for a unique, almost nutty gourmand warmth. The sweetness is refined and never cloying, balanced by a soft, powdery aura that lingers on the skin. Elegant and modern, this scent brings together classic floral sophistication with a contemporary gourmand twist, perfect for intimate evenings or crisp cold days.
