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
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile enough for daily wear, though some find it a bit too assertive for the office. The woody, slightly mysterious profile makes it a strong contender for dates and more casual, sophisticated outings, but it's likely too heavy for formal events or sport.

About

This woody concoction opens with a dry, almost arid woodiness, swiftly joined by the distinctive papyrus note that gives it an intriguing, slightly ancient feel. As it settles, a creamy, grounding sandalwood emerges, weaving through the papyrus to create a deep, textured base. Expect a scent that's more about earthy sophistication than flashy sparkle, hinting at parchment and aged timber.
