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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

The moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for casual wear and might work for a relaxed date. Its unique, somewhat medicinal opening and bold spicy character make it less ideal for formal settings or a professional office environment, but it's invigorating enough for sport.

About

Katabatic is built from camphor, cinnamon, star anise, clove, birch leaf, dragon's blood, cypress, cedar, fir, iris, oakmoss, sandalwood and almond. The camphor, fir and cypress give a cold, woody feel, while cinnamon, clove and star anise add warm spice. Dragon's blood and oakmoss add a dark, resinous depth, with iris and almond softening the edges. It is a dense, woody and spicy scent.
