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

Built on amber, fresh spicy and smoky - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

The strong sillage and prominent smoky/animalic accords make this too imposing for office wear. However, its sophisticated and bold character is perfect for formal events and making a memorable impression on a date night.

About

Gothic Incense opens with a sharp, invigorating hit of pepper, quickly paving the way for a rich, enveloping heart of pure, smoky incense. As it settles, a luxurious leather emerges, softened by the warmth of amber, creating a deep, resonant base. It's a complex blend of heat and smoke, with a distinct animalic undertone that adds to its brooding character. This is a scent that smolders, never burns out, leaving a lingering, mysterious aura.
