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.

Also Works:
Casual

With strong projection and good longevity, this woody-fresh spicy scent is a bit much for the office. However, its bold and sexy character makes it more suited for evenings out or casual wear, as noted by some reviewers who call it an adult fragrance.

About

It kicks off with a sharp, juicy burst of pineapple, instantly tropical and sweet. This quickly folds into the green, slightly peppery kick of Sichuan pepper and fern, adding an aromatic edge. The dry down is all masculine woods and leather, with oak bringing a robust, earthy foundation and a smooth, worn leather note wrapping things up.
