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

Chic opens with blackcurrant, bergamot and mandarin, a juicy and slightly tart start of fruit and citrus. The heart is floral, with ylang-ylang, magnolia and rose adding a lush, creamy sweetness. The base of vanilla, heliotrope and sandalwood is soft and powdery, warm without being heavy. It is a pretty, easy fruity floral that stays gentle and inviting from start to finish.
