Tone Indeterminee is a gourmand fragrance with deep oriental and spicy accords, centered around sweet, creamy tobacco, cinnamon, and rum. It opens with a warm, chocolate-like sweetness reminiscent of syrupy coffee, cream, or vanilla-laced cocoa, giving it a seductive, dessert-like profile. Over time, it evolves into a more nuanced composition—buttery, caramel-like, with subtle notes of neroli, cedarwood, and subtle anise-like spice, creating a refined, complex drydown. The scent is remarkably long-lasting, with lasting well beyond 10 hours on the skin, and delivers a moderate to strong sillage that lingers in the air. It performs best in cooler weather, making it ideal for autumn and winter wear, where its warmth and depth shine. The fragrance is widely recognized as unisex, with praise for its balance and elegance that transcends gendered marketing. Despite a few reports of the liquid turning dark purple over time (often due to storage conditions), the scent remains universally acclaimed for its quality, affordability, and near-universal appeal.
