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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a hint of clean, luminous jasmine before plunging headfirst into a rich, complex heart. Here, deep amber marries with a raw, intense castoreum, creating a powerful leathery and animalic core. As it settles, a luxurious, slightly powdery musk emerges, softened by a creamy vanilla, leaving a long-lasting, utterly magnetic trail.
