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.

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's versatile for day or night, and its elegant profile makes it suitable for both casual chic and more dressed-up occasions. The 'winter' name and warm notes lean it away from sporty wear, but it's not overpowering for office use.

About

Golden Decade Winter opens with a bright, juicy burst of tangerine and bergamot, quickly softening into a lush floral heart of orange blossom and jasmine. A whisper of lavender adds a sophisticated clean edge, while a touch of incense weaves in a subtle, alluring smokiness. The dry down is a warm, creamy embrace of vanilla, tonka bean, and amber, grounded by a hint of musky vetiver, creating a smooth and inviting finish.
