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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

This fragrance opens with a soft blend of delicate florals and spices, transitioning into a warm heart dominated by creamy musk. The base is a rich tapestry of wood and amber, evoking a deep, lingering warmth. Jasmine and cardamom brighten the floral spice opening, cinnamon and nutmeg add further warmth, and cedar, sandalwood and vanilla settle into a smooth, musky drydown that lasts well into the night.
