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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

The blend of creamy vanilla and woody cashmeran brings warmth for fall and winter, while the juicy blackcurrant and fresh jasmine keep it bright enough for cool spring days. It can feel heavy in high heat, so it's less ideal for summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

It excels on dates and evenings out due to its sweet, sensual vanilla and moderate projection. It's also wearable for casual or office settings, but the richness and distinct woody-vanilla character make it less suited to sports or strict formality.

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

Perfect for evenings out or anytime you want to feel both sensual and empowered.
