Performance
This is a luxury Extrait de Parfum, infused at 40 percent fragrance strength for a commanding presence. With strong projection and the potential to last up to 24 hours on skin and fabrics, it is crafted for lasting impact, though longevity and projection may vary slightly according to skin chemistry, weather and application style. For best results, apply to clean, moisturised skin on pulse points such as the neck, wrists or inner elbows. Allow the perfume to settle before exposure to strong heat or humidity to enjoy its full depth and complexity.
Who It Suits
Perfect for those who crave a fragrance of bold, sculpted masculinity—yet with an artistic sensibility. This scent suits individuals who appreciate vintage aromatic signatures, daring contrasts, and the magnetic pull of smoky, animalic accords woven with spice and green freshness.
Best For
Ideally worn for evening occasions, formal gatherings, or moments when a powerful presence is desired. Its complexity makes it a compelling choice for cooler nights and autumn or winter seasons, while its boldness also stands up beautifully to South African climates, making it a striking signature for those who move seamlessly from city to nature.
Available Sizes
This fragrance is available in multiple size options to suit every lifestyle: the 15 ml pen spray offers effortless portability and on-the-go convenience, the 30 ml bottle is ideal for travel or occasional wear, the 50 ml bottle is perfect for regular use or as a dedicated bottle for your bag or desk, and the 100 ml bottle is best for everyday signature wear and delivers the best value. Simply select your preferred size on the product page and click Add to Cart to secure your bottle.

FAQ's
Product FAQs
How accurate are your “designer-inspired” scents?
Our products are fragrance-infused with designer-inspired blends made to match the original scent profile as closely as possible. Expect a familiar opening, recognizable heart notes, and a similar dry-down, crafted for everyday wear and layering.
Tip: If you already know the original, start with the same style family (fresh, gourmand, woody, floral) for the best match.
Are your perfumes oil-based, and do they last long?
Yes. Our perfumes are an extrait-style, oil-rich formula designed for long wear. The scent is carried in a premium base that helps it project smoothly and last for hours on skin and clothing.
Longevity varies by fragrance family, skin chemistry, and climate, but the formula is built for extended wear.
How do I make my scent last even longer?
Layering is the fastest way to boost performance:
- Cleanse with the matching body wash or hand wash
- Moisturise with the matching lotion (hydrated skin holds scent better)
- Finish with your perfume on pulse points
For your space, add Home & Linen Mist, Reed Diffusers, or Car Diffusers to keep the same signature aroma throughout your day.

Is this product suitable for daily use?
Yes. Our fragranced everyday essentials are designed to be used regularly while keeping the scent refined and wearable. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend a small patch test first.
Can I use the same scent across multiple products?
Absolutely. Scentemy is built for “signature scent” living across 18 fragrance-infused categories—from perfumes and lotions to home and car fragrance—so your favourite designer-inspired scent can follow you everywhere.
What if I’m unsure which scent to choose?
If you know the original perfume name you love, choose the matching inspired option. If you only know the vibe, use the notes/accords on the page (fresh, musky, woody, gourmand, floral) to guide your pick.
Is this product authentic designer perfume?
No. This is a designer-inspired fragrance product made to capture the scent profile you love, at a more accessible price point, while maintaining a premium feel.
