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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for casual wear and dates, as it's not overpowering. The sweet and floral profile is a bit too playful for formal settings, but its day-time suitability makes it an option for a relaxed office environment.

About

Sweet Petal Pound Cake opens with a bright, tart burst of raspberry, quickly intertwined with a fresh, sugary rose. As it settles, a soft, frosted cake accord emerges, though for some, it remains a subtle whisper beneath the dominant floral and fruity notes. It's a playful confection, light and airy, with an almost powdery finish.
