Fin de Siecle is a complex, vintage-inspired Chypre with a bold opening of black currant, bergamot, and bitter citrus layered over a foundation of oakmoss, woody notes, and animalic civet. Over time, it evolves into a deep, mossy rose with a powdery floral core, a spicy woody undertone, and a sense of decadence reminiscent of the late 19th century. The fragrance unfolds slowly, revealing shifts between fruity rose, earthy moss, and subtle animalic nuance, creating a layered, evolving profile that feels both artistic and grounded. It performs strongly, lasting up to 12 hours on skin and extending beyond 24 hours on fabric, though projection lessens after the first few hours. The scent is best suited for cooler weather, particularly autumn and winter, and clearly favors nighttime wear.
