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.

About

The notes are listed as a single group, with no top, heart and base. Cypress and juniper bring a dry, green, slightly sharp character, while labdanum adds a dark resinous warmth. Patchouli and sandalwood give earthy and woody depth, and carrot seeds add an unusual earthy, rooty touch. Altogether it is a dark woody scent with a restrained, mysterious mood.
