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:
Fall

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

With moderate longevity and sillage, this scent isn't overpowering but its unique, dark character makes it less suitable for formal or office settings. It's better for casual evening wear or a date, particularly in cooler weather, where its intriguing complexity can be appreciated.
