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.

Formal

This fragrance is an absolute powerhouse in both longevity and sillage, making it too overwhelming for an office environment. Its intense, animalic, and leathery profile is best reserved for formal events or a confident statement on a date night rather than casual wear or sport.

About

A potent blast of raw, animalic castoreum and deep, dark oud hits you first, softened by hints of cypress and juniper. As it settles, a rugged leather accord emerges, entwined with spicy ginger and earthy angelica, creating a complex, almost tar-like intensity. The dry down is a smoky, woody affair, retaining a strong, uncompromising character that lingers for ages.
