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.

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.

About

Opening with a juicy burst of apple and blackcurrant, The Sinner quickly descends into a floral heart of jasmine, cyclamen, and orange blossom. This opulent bouquet is grounded by a warm, enveloping base of tonka bean, vanilla, and patchouli, softened by heliotrope and a whisper of cedar. The overall impression is a rich, sweet, and somewhat powdery scent that evolves into a softer, more refined experience on the skin.
