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 long-lasting nature and strong projection mean it's probably too much for the office. However, its rich, oriental character makes it fantastic for evenings out, formal events, and intimate dates, with many reviewers praising its compliment-pulling power.

About

This is a rich, oriental woody scent that kicks off with a bold, inviting oud. It's not a screechy, in-your-face oud, but rather a smooth, somewhat mellow interpretation. Hints of spice, saffron, and a touch of powdery sweetness weave through, creating a complex and luxurious tapestry that settles into a warm, balsamic leather base. The overall impression is one of refined depth and exotic allure.
