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

Caramelized Dates opens with a boozy, almost liqueur-like date sweetness, quickly followed by a prominent burnt sugar facet. As it settles, a rich, syrupy caramel takes centre stage, woven through with creamy sandalwood and a warm, inviting benzoin base. It's a deep, unashamedly gourmand experience that sticks around.
