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

Gentle opens with a lively, fresh burst of bergamot and grapefruit, spiced ever so slightly with pink pepper. It quickly settles into a sophisticated heart of powdery iris and violet, softened by magnolie and a touch of hedione. The base grounds this ethereal floral bouquet with creamy sandalwood and warm vanilla, musk, and a hint of amber, creating a serene and luxurious finish.
