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

Assima kicks off with a vibrant burst of raspberry and saffron, spiced up by cardamom and bright bergamot. The heart reveals a sophisticated blend of fresh magnolia and smooth leather, steering clear of any harshness. As it settles, a rich, earthy base emerges with creamy sandalwood, damp oakmoss, and deep patchouli, all warmed by amber and benzoin, finishing with a hint of compelling oud and cedar. It's a complex journey from fruit to earth.
