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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its rich, bold, and long-lasting nature, this scent is an excellent fit for formal events and date nights where it can truly shine and make a statement. Its intensity makes it less suitable for casual wear or the office, and certainly not for sport.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

This exquisite parfum opens with a luxurious blend of truffle and blackcurrant, brightened by bergamot and jasmine, ushering in a unique and intriguing top. The heart unfolds with exotic orchid and a medley of spices, adding a warm, complex layer. It settles into a deep, sensuous base of dark chocolate, earthy patchouli, and smoky incense, rounded by amber and vanilla, creating a bold, long-lasting aroma with a velvety texture. It's a dark floral dream with an impressive depth.
