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

Prestigious kicks off with a bright, zesty mandarin and bergamot pop before diving headfirst into a rich, complex heart of jammy rose and a surprisingly metallic pink pepper. As it settles, a gorgeous musky vanilla emerges, underpinned by warm amber and earthy patchouli. Swathes of saffron add a luxurious, spicy dimension, while sandalwood provides a creamy, grounding finish. It's a scent that morphs beautifully, keeping you on your toes.
