Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Karus opens with a rich, dark rose steeped in rum, creating an immediate sense of warm, boozy indulgence. As it evolves, powdery violet emerges, adding a sophisticated, almost vintage touch, while a subtle, tart raspberry prevents it from becoming overly heavy. The base settles into a deep blend of earthy patchouli and dry cedar, grounding the composition with a woody, slightly chocolatey depth that lingers beautifully.
