When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its strong projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its dark, warm, and spicy character, make it most suitable for evening and formal occasions, like dates or fancy events. It's generally too intense for an office setting or casual daytime wear, and definitely not for sport.

About

Opens with a fiery kick of black pepper and warm cinnamon before settling into a smoky heart of rich incense and olibanum. The journey culminates in a creamy, luxurious sandalwood base, lending a smooth, almost velvety finish. It’s a dark, resinous blend that manages to feel both sophisticated and utterly seductive.
