Composition

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

Abstract opens with a striking, mouth-watering blast of rhubarb and smoky incense, tempered by earthy vetiver that some perceive as a rich, dark cherry. This unique tartness melts into a heart of creamy tonka bean and a subtle, powdery rose, providing a smooth sweetness. The journey concludes with a deep, sensual base of leather, warm amber, and robust woods like sandalwood and cedar, leaving a mysterious, intoxicating trail that evokes fine tobacco and sophisticated allure.
