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 Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

This perfume's strong sillage and long-lasting nature, coupled with its rich, sweet profile, make it less suitable for enclosed office spaces or sporty activities. It shines brightest on dates or formal events where its opulent character can be appreciated, though many reviewers enjoy it casually too.

About

And The World Is Yours opens with an intense blast of neroli and orange blossom, sharp and almost grape-like, immediately warmed by a hint of spicy cumin. As it evolves, the initial sweetness mellows, and a creamy heliotrope emerges, leading into a rich, almost edible base of vanilla and tonka bean. Sandalwood and Tolu balsam provide a balsamic depth, wrapping the floral-gourmand heart in a luxurious, long-lasting embrace.
