When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Leans cozy and cool-weather. The creamy milky sandalwood, gentle cinnamon, and coumarin-fenugreek warmth read like a cashmere jumper, with wearers favouring autumn and winter, though its lightness keeps it wearable across spring and even warm days.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its soft, near-skin projection and clean sandalwood character make it an easy everyday and office choice where loud scents are unwelcome. The warm, comforting drydown suits casual wear and quiet date nights; its subtlety can be lost in very formal settings or during sport.

About

Imagine freshly milled sandalwood, delicate and clean, infused with a whisper of powdery iris. A soft, warm musk envelops the blend, accented by a subtle dash of cinnamon and a gentle prickle of pink pepper. It's a cashmere jumper in fragrance form, warm and inviting but never overpowering, settling into a serene skin scent.
