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

Pure Pastel Lemon opens with a delightful burst of bright, tangy lemon and sweet mandarin, softened by a crisp green apple. This lively citrus introduction then settles into a delicate floral heart where powdery violet leaf mingles with the dewy freshness of lily of the valley and the subtle peppery touch of freesia. The dry-down maintains a clean, light feel, with a gentle musk and warm amber grounding the scent, leaving a soft, comforting trail.
