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

Divine Tentation opens with a rich, inviting burst of boozy rum and warm, spicy clove, beautifully complemented by the sweet, dark fruitiness of fig. As it settles, a heart of smoky guaiac wood and vibrant cinnamon emerges, wrapped in the balsamic sweetness of peru balsam. The drydown is a luxurious blend of creamy vanilla, deep amber, and earthy patchouli, creating a long-lasting, comforting embrace.
