Scent Profile

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

Calliope opens with a burst of zesty clementine and juicy blackcurrant, quickly joined by the fluffy, airy sweetness of cotton candy. As it settles, a clean white floral heart of orange blossom and orchid emerges, grounded by a soft, almost creamy vanilla and tonka bean. A subtle, sometimes soapy musk underpins the composition, aiming for a fun yet adult sweetness.
