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.

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it a bit much for the office but perfect for dates and evening events. The warm, dark notes lend themselves well to cooler weather and dressier occasions, but some find it versatile enough for casual wear.

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.

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

Opens with a rich, dark rose note intertwined with a distinct, almost culinary saffron, lending an exotic sweetness. As it settles, a smoky incense emerges, deepening the composition alongside a warm labdanum. The dry down reveals a soft, approachable oud, beautifully blended with creamy sandalwood, creating an alluring, resinous trail.
