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.

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

One combined note list is given. Amber, myrrh, resins and benzoin build a thick, balsamic centre, with sandalwood and vanilla adding creaminess. Bay leaf, oregano, angelica, myrtle and coriander bring a herbal, slightly savoury edge, and patchouli adds earthiness. The overall effect is a deep, resinous amber that stays dark and warm, with herbs cutting through the sweetness.
