Three ways to read a perfume

A note profile is a useful way to describe a fragrance. Top notes introduce its opening character; heart notes describe its central profile; base notes describe its deeper, lingering side. The divisions help you compare scents, rather than setting an exact timetable for how they will smell on everyone.

Start with something familiar

If citrus appeals to you, compare the bergamot and lemon in Savage with the sweet orange and lemon in Possession. If you prefer a fresh aquatic direction, explore Office Hours, with green mandarin and coconut water.

Look at the whole profile

An opening note tells only part of the story. Dominus brings raspberry and saffron into a leather-and-suede base. Cured pairs a bergamot opening with tea and an ozonic accord, then sandalwood and musk. Read the full product description alongside the note list.

Make a short list

Choose two profiles that interest you and open their product pages side by side. Compare their listed size, notes and price. If you want two full bottles, check whether one of the signature duos includes your choices.

Your preferences come first

Note lists guide exploration; they cannot guarantee what a perfume will feel like to you or how long it will last. If you would like help comparing the collection, ask us a question.
