Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

Oeillet Bengale opens with an intoxicating blast of warm, zesty spices, featuring prominent clove, pepper, and cinnamon alongside exotic saffron and turmeric. As it settles, a soft, refined floral heart emerges, with rose and subtle fruity nuances of strawberry weaving through the spice. The dry-down reveals a comforting, balsamic base of vanilla, labdanum, and tolu balsam, wrapping you in an elegant, resinous warmth that lingers on the skin.
