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.

Its fresh and clean profile makes it highly suitable for everyday wear, including the office or casual outings. While refined enough for more formal settings, its energetic top notes might be a bit much for heavily subdued events. It's too sophisticated for hardcore sports but perfectly fine for lighter activities.

About

Posillipo kicks off with a spirited burst of bergamot and fiery ginger, tempered by the unexpected, soothing herbal touch of chamomile and a sharp crack of pepper. As it settles, a clean, aromatic heart emerges, with lavender and sage providing a cultivated green freshness, underscored by geranium and thyme. The base grounds this lively composition in a refined blend of earthy patchouli, clean cedar, and a subtle musk, ensuring a smooth, lasting impression that’s warm without being heavy. It's a scent that evolves beautifully, from bright and spicy to a calm, woody aromatic finish.
