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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer Fall

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong performance and rich, heavy accords like amber and incense, this is far too potent for a professional office setting. It shines brightest on dates and formal evenings where its luxurious and bold character can truly make an impression, but could be overwhelming for casual daytime 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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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 a potent blast of dark, jammy blackcurrant and tart quince, brightened by a hint of bergamot. The heart blooms into a rich, creamy white floral bouquet with opulent tuberose, magnolia, and the exotic touch of ylang-ylang. As it settles, a heavy amber warmth emerges, alongside deep, resinous incense and myrrh, grounding the sweetness with earthy patchouli and a comforting vanilla. It's an oriental floral that leans into its darker, more opulent side.
