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.

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:

Its moderate longevity means it won't overpower an office, and its unique, elegant character makes it suitable for formal settings or a sophisticated date. Many find it easy to wear casually despite its complexity, though its distinctiveness makes it less appropriate for sporty activities.

About

Opens with a surprising, almost animalic burst before settling into a distinctive blend. Powdery, decadent iris takes centre stage, wrapped in a smooth, slightly sweet suede. Hints of inky paper and dry cedar emerge in the background, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of an old, leather-bound library. The drydown evolves into a warm, soft skin scent, with some detecting a subtle vanilla or brown sugar sweetness.
