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

Blend 30, from 1978, is a masculine eau de toilette by Ron Winnegrad. The top is crowded with lavender, sour cherry, clary sage, neroli, lemon, rosemary and bergamot, giving a herbal, citrus and tart opening. The heart moves to sandalwood, carnation, cedar, geranium, rosewood, patchouli and jasmine, a woody and floral centre. The base is the old-school part, with oakmoss, leather, hay, incense, ambergris, tonka bean and musk. A classic, richly layered style for anyone who likes older masculine fragrances.
