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.

About

Dark Light opens with a potent, almost ceremonial blend of rich myrrh and warm amber, immediately setting a tone of deep, enveloping mystery. As it settles, creamy vanilla softens the edges, while clean aldehydes and a velvety musk emerge, creating a 'half-light' effect- a beautiful interplay of darkness and warmth. The overall impression is a plush, balsamic, and subtly powdered scent that feels both ancient and modern.
