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

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and subtle projection make it suitable for office wear without being overpowering. The warm, sensual accords of honey and spices are perfect for dates, while its calming nature lends itself to casual settings. It isn't quite bold enough for formal occasions and its warmth disqualifies it for sport.

About

It opens with a lively kick of black pepper and cardamom, quickly settling into a luxurious stream of soft, sweet honey. Thanaka wood emerges, providing a unique, creamy depth with an almost vanilla-like quality. The base is an enveloping warmth of Siam benzoin, giving it a resinous, subtly powdery finish that feels both exotic and comforting.
