Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Its moderate sillage and cosy, slightly sweet profile make it excellent for casual wear and dates, providing a comforting aura without being overwhelming. While some find it office-appropriate due to its sophistication, the gourmand elements and warmth might be too distracting for a formal setting.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

Imagine freshly roasted hazelnuts, rich and slightly sweet, mingling with the creamy warmth of sandalwood and the soft embrace of cashmere wood. Heliotrope lends a subtle, powdery almond facet, rounding out the gourmand edge with a sophisticated floral touch. A backbone of Virginia cedar provides a dry, refined woodiness, stopping it from becoming overly edible and grounding the composition in elegant comfort.
