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.

About

Essence opens bright and spiced, with cypress, saffron, bergamot and cardamom giving a fresh yet exotic start. The heart is rose, nutmeg and jasmine, which add a floral warmth and a hint of spice. The base is long and full, built from oud, leather, cedar and sandalwood, then sweetened with amber, vanilla, tonka bean and musk. The result is a woody, resinous and slightly sweet eau de parfum with a luxurious feel. It is well suited to evenings and cooler weather, and to anyone who enjoys rich, oud-led fragrances.
