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.

About

Sphinx Signature opens with cinnamon and lavender, lifted by mandarin and lemon, so the start is spicy and a little herbal rather than purely citrus. The heart turns darker with cumin, incense and a fruity note, which gives a warm, almost skin-like spice. The base is deep and woody, built from Iso E Super, cedar, cypress and patchouli, with vanilla, benzoin and tobacco adding sweetness and smoke and leather rounding it off. It is a warm, resinous woody scent with a dramatic feel.
