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.

Its sweet, caramel-heavy profile makes it too much for an office, but it's perfect for dates and casual wear due to its comforting and inviting nature. While too gourmand for most formal events, it could suit a more relaxed, elegant cocktail evening.

About

Imagine sipping a rich black tea with a warm, gooey caramel dessert, perhaps with a hint of cherry or a freshly picked fig. It's a sweet, resinous embrace, featuring prominent caramel and tonka, softened by a subtle rose and the sophisticated depth of balsamic notes. This scent evokes a cozy yet elegant atmosphere, like a luxurious evening indulgence.
