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 Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its long-lasting nature and strong projection make it less ideal for office settings, where it might overwhelm. However, its warm, sensual character and popularity as a winter scent make it perfect for dates and casual evening wear, offering a comforting and alluring presence. It leans a bit heavy for sport but can work for certain formal, intimate events.

About

Imagine stepping into an ancient spice market, where the air is thick with the scent of crushed cloves and warm woods. Woody Sandalwood opens with a pronounced, spicy kick from the clove, quickly settling into a deep, creamy sandalwood heart. Cedar and patchouli lend an earthy, rustic backbone, while amber, vanilla, and tonka bean weave a subtle sweetness through the dry-down, rounded out by a smooth, lingering musk.
