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.

Its monster projection and strong character make it less ideal for a subdued office environment, but it's often praised for its versatility across casual, date, and smart-casual settings. The woody and spicy accords lend themselves well to evening and social occasions.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Pleasure Over Business kicks off with a sharp, invigorating hit of Sichuan pepper and bright bergamot, quickly evolving into a heart of smooth cashmeran and powdery iris with a fresh, spicy ginger kick. The base settles into a rich, woody symphony of guaiac wood and palo santo, softened by warm amber and tonka, with an underlying clean musk. It’s dense, complex, and surprisingly a little creamy in its drydown.
