Accords
Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The first 0–30 minutes are a vibrant explosion of spice: nutmeg and cardamom take center stage, sharpened by the citrusy brightness of mandarin and the sweet heat of cinnamon. It is an invigorating, almost festive introduction that immediately signals warmth.
As the top notes settle (1–2 hours), the heart reveals a more nuanced character. Lavender and geranium introduce a floral-herbal softness, while cypress and clary sage add an aromatic, slightly green counterpoint. The true star of the heart, however, is caramel—a creamy, gourmand sweetness that begins to weave through the spices, creating a luscious, addictive accord.
After 4+ hours, the fragrance reaches its full maturity. The base is a resinous, woody embrace: cedarwood provides a dry, pencil-shaving texture, olibanum (frankincense) adds a sacred, smoky depth, vetiver offers earthy roots, and labdanum contributes a leathery, amber-like warmth. The amber itself is the anchor—rich, slightly powdery, and endlessly comforting. This drydown lasts for hours, evolving slowly on the skin.
Performance Dashboard
7+ hours on skin, often lasting into the next day on clothes. A true performer for its price point.
Good projection for the first 2–3 hours, projecting about an arm's length, then settles into a closer skin scent.
Moderate to heavy. Leaves a noticeable trail without being overwhelming—perfect for intimate gatherings.
