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

Pretty Blue opens with a unique herbal kick, brightened by a whisper of anise and a cool touch of eucalyptus. The heart blooms into a gentle lavender, softened by green geranium and a hint of spicy clove leaf. It settles into a tranquil base of earthy patchouli, creamy sandalwood, and a subtle mossy depth, creating a clean, soothing aroma that lingers close to the skin.
