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 mature, rich, and somewhat dark profile makes it ideal for evenings and formal events. While some reviewers call it office-safe, its intensity and 'old-school' vibe might be a bit much for everyday casual wear, though it performs well for intimate close encounters.

About

Opens with a spicy hit of saffron and bergamot, quickly delving into a rich, resinous heart. Myrrh and labdanum provide a deep, balsamic warmth, while amber and vanilla lend a smooth sweetness. Subtle hints of patchouli and leather ground the scent, creating a complex, dark, and sophisticated aura that’s both clean and a touch mysterious.
