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:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its sweet and warm spicy profile makes it more suitable for casual outings and dates, particularly in cooler weather. Due to its limited projection and longevity as noted by many, it's not ideal for formal events or the gym, and can be worn in the office if applied lightly.

About

Opens with a zesty burst of lemon, quickly overshadowed by a rich heart of warm cinnamon and decadent praline. As it settles, a smooth, subtly woody base of patchouli emerges, spiced with aromatic cardamom, leaving a comforting and inviting trail. It's a sweet, warm, and sophisticated scent with a playful edge.
