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

The Secret Night opens bright and green, with bergamot, mandarin, violet leaf and the sharp, leafy edge of galbanum. The heart brings sea water, lavender, fennel and honeysuckle, a cool aromatic mix with a hint of sweetness. In the base, tonka bean, suede and amber warm everything up and give a soft, slightly sweet finish. It is a fresh, marine-aromatic scent with a smoother, more evening-ready ending.
