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

The notes listed for Forest Lily are lily of the valley, wisteria, sandalwood, lilac, ylang-ylang and clementine, with no split into top, heart and base. Together they point to a floral bouquet: lily of the valley and lilac for a fresh spring-like sweetness, wisteria and ylang-ylang for a creamier floral body, clementine for a light citrus lift and sandalwood for a soft woody finish. It is a delicate, feminine floral rather than a heavy one.
