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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its moderate sillage and unique, green floral character make it an intriguing choice for dates or casual wear, offering something different without being overpowering. The distinct animalic undertones might be too challenging for a formal setting or an office environment, while its lack of freshness makes it unsuitable for sport.

About

Boutonniere No. 7 opens with a rush of green, herbal petitgrain and soft lavender, setting an aromatic stage. Soon, the star of the show emerges: a complex gardenia, not sweet or creamy, but raw and rubbery with an indolic edge. As it settles, earthy vetiver and oakmoss deepen the composition, lending a dry, almost dirty quality. This is a gardenia reimagined, moving from fresh bloom to a more grounded, textured floral experience.
