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:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its powerful and long-lasting spicy-amber profile makes it too intense for the office or casual daywear. This is best reserved for evenings out, where its heady projection can truly shine on a date or at a formal event.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • 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

A rich tapestry of scent that first greets you with a bright, fleeting sparkle of mandarin and bergamot, quickly ushering in the heart of jasmine and a hefty dose of clove. The real story unfolds in the deep dry-down: a warm, almost syrupy blend of myrrh and opoponax, cushioned by sweet amber and vanilla, all underpinned by earthy patchouli. It's a balsamic, spicy dream.
