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.

Also Works:
Formal

With its beastly projection and longevity, this fragrance is far too loud for an office setting. It's perfectly suited for nights out and dates where its bold, rockstar character can truly shine, though some find it acceptable for very special, dressed-up formal events.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • 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

Exploding with a boozy splash of rum and bright passionfruit, this scent quickly deepens into a rich, complex core. Leather and patchouli bring an earthy, rebellious edge, softened by a spiced warmth of cinnamon. The dry down is a luxurious, sweet embrace of caramel, vanilla, and tonka bean, leaving an unforgettable, long-lasting trail that's both challenging and addictive.
