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
Also Works:
Spring

Built on amber, earthy and woody - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its mature, woody-amber profile makes it well-suited for formal and evening wear, lending a refined air to dates and special occasions. While a bit heavy for the office, a light application could work; it's definitely not for casual daytime or sport.

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

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Quod Manet opens with a sharp, almost metallic green freshness, cut with a zesty grapefruit and an aldehydic fizz. This quickly settles into a rugged heart of damp earth and dry vetiver, deepened by a smoky tobacco leaf and the resinous warmth of labdanum. The base wraps things up with a grounding musk, a hefty amber, and an unapologetic, earthy patchouli, leaving a lasting impression of sophisticated masculinity.
