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
Also Works:
Fall

Built on woody, aromatic and citrus - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its extremely subtle nature and poor longevity make it suitable only for very casual wear or an office where discretion is paramount. For anything requiring presence, it simply won't perform.

About

Valley Mist drifts in on a whisper of bright citrus and a brisk marine breeze, reminiscent of a coastal morning. The heart opens to a verdant blend of pine and fir, sweetened ever so slightly by delicate jasmine, evoking a stroll through a sun-dappled forest. It settles into a minimalist base of woody cypress and dry driftwood, grounded by a subtle musk that fades almost to nothingness.
