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 long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it a bit much for the office but perfect for dates or evening formal events where its depth can shine. Reviewers often mention its masculine, woody character, making it a strong choice for colder weather and night-time wear.

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.

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

Opens with an intriguing, slightly dirty earthiness from the patchouli and vetiver, immediately bringing to mind damp soil after an autumn rain. This deep, almost rooty accord is soon joined by a bracing, dry woodiness from the Virginia cedar and guaiac wood, creating a scent profile that's natural and grounded. As it settles, the creamy, warm embrace of sandalwood emerges, softened by a subtle hint of spice from cardamom and nutmeg, adding a touch of sophisticated mystery.
