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:
Spring Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Built on lavender, aromatic and white floral - a composition that sits best in spring, summer and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

The prominent lavender and patchouli give this a sophisticated edge, making it more suited for evenings and formal events. While not overtly loud, its distinct character might be a bit much for a conservative office setting, though it's versatile enough for casual wear if applied lightly.

About

Essence of His Guilt kicks off with a potent blast of aromatic lavender, immediately establishing a clean, somewhat barbershop-esque character. As it settles, a sweet, indolic orange blossom emerges, adding a plush, white floral heart that softens the initial sharpness. The dry down is undeniably earthy and deep, with patchouli laying a rich, slightly damp foundation that anchors the floral and herbal notes firmly. It's a scent that develops from fresh to full-bodied over time, with a lingering powdery quality.
