05 METAL
A metallic-tinged spice gourmand where ume, whisky and rose meet honeyed white florals, drying down to a warm, bookish blend of vanilla, amber and woods with a subtly boozy sweetness.
Scent Development and Character
A spiced gourmand with a metallic glint, 05 METAL opens with rose, ume and a splash of whisky laced in coriander and plum, evoking chilled metal warmed by liquor and fruit. Honeyed florals then bloom in the heart, where violet, freesia, tuberose and ylang-ylang melt into the booze-soaked sweetness, before settling into a smooth base of vanilla and amber over carrot seed, cedar and sandalwood that feels like leafing through old books in a quiet bar.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
The moderate yet lingering Eau de Parfum strength makes 05 METAL well suited to cool or cold weather, especially autumn and winter evenings, where its boozy honey, florals and vanillic woods feel comforting and slightly decadent. It works best for reflective moments, quiet nights out, or creative work sessions rather than hot daytime wear, and a light hand on the trigger will keep the gourmand sweetness elegant in close quarters. Best suited to cool weather, especially autumn and winter, when its boozy honey, plum and vanilla-amber warmth feel cozy and refined; it can work on cooler spring evenings but is generally too dense for hot summer days. Sillage is Moderate sillage that forms a soft but present aura around the wearer, noticeable at arm’s length in the first hours before settling closer to the skin. Longevity is Moderate to moderately long lasting; the scent typically remains noticeable for around 6–8 hours on skin, with the denser honey, vanilla and woody notes lingering longest. These are editorial estimates derived from the official composition and concentration and will vary with skin and climate.
