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

Garota de Ipanema opens with a vibrant burst of mandarin and juicy pear, softened by a sweet apricot glow. As it settles, a floral heart of delicate lily of the valley, peony, and rose emerges, subtly spiced by a touch of licorice. The dry down is warm and inviting, with a clean musk, creamy sandalwood, and rich amber providing a comforting embrace.
