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.

Best For:

Also Works:
Formal

With its strong sillage and long-lasting performance, Punjab is too much for most office environments. It excels in casual and date settings, projecting a confident aura, and can even work for formal events if applied sparingly. It's definitely not a sport scent.

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

This Eau de Toilette opens with artemisia, juniper, marjoram, bergamot and lemon, an herbal and citrus start. The heart is crowded and spicy: pine, carnation, geranium, patchouli, jasmine, cedar and cinnamon. The base is deep, with fir, oakmoss, amber, leather, musk, frankincense and myrrh. It reads as a classic woody, resinous masculine from 1979, with a long list of notes and a heavy, old-school feel.
