Caban Eau de Parfum

A warm woody-spicy fragrance that starts with bright pepper and elemi, then melts into resin, tonka bean, sandalwood, and patchouli. Best suited to cooler weather and evening wear, but it remains polished enough for daytime use in moderate doses.

Scent Development and Character

Caban opens with a bright, spicy lift from pink pepper, black pepper, and elemi, then settles into a resinous, softly smoky heart of olibanum and osmanthus. The drydown is warm and enveloping, with sandalwood, tonka bean, and patchouli creating a creamy, gently sweet woody trail.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best suited to cooler weather and evening wear, but it remains polished enough for daytime use in moderate doses. Its warm, skin-close sweetness and spice make it adaptable to both tailored and relaxed outfits. Best in autumn and winter. Sillage is Moderate. Longevity is Moderate to long.
