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

Opening with a zesty, almost lemonade-like punch of grapefruit and blackcurrant, this fragrance quickly settles into a heart of delicate white florals. Neroli and jasmine weave a clean, soapy freshness, while a subtle lotus note adds a watery, airy quality. The dry-down introduces a creamy sandalwood and gardenia, grounded by an unexpected hint of poplar buds, giving it a soft, slightly woody finish.
