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.

This perfume's very weak longevity and moderate sillage make it ideal for casual wear and the office, where subtlety is key. Its light, floral character also suits daytime events perfectly, but it might get lost in formal or sporty settings.

About

Dive into the bright, sparkling opening of Madurai Talkies with zesty bergamot and juicy mandarin, uplifted by the delicate freshness of neroli. The heart unfurls into a soft, romantic bouquet of classic rose, sweet jasmine, and powdery violet, evoking a timeless feminine grace. It settles into a whisper of clean musk and grounding cedar, leaving a gentle, comforting trail that's utterly charming.
