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 moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for casual wear and dates, as it's comforting without being overwhelming. The warm, woody vanilla character, though sometimes perceived as weak, is generally pleasant for close encounters but perhaps too understated for formal events or sports.

About

Opens with a subtle whisper of warm spices and a hint of smooth, buttery caramel before settling into its woody heart. Here, creamy sandalwood and soft cashmere wood intertwine, creating an enveloping, almost incense-like aura. The drydown reveals a comforting blend of sweet Madagascar vanilla and a clean, gentle musk, offering a quiet, sophisticated warmth that lingers close to the skin.
