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

Onda kicks off with a burst of crisp bergamot, quickly ushering in a classic fougere heart where herbaceous lavender meets the sweet, powdery touch of heliotrope. The initial freshness soon deepens into a smooth, creamy base of cedar and sandalwood, giving it a grounding, woody finish. It's a journey from airy citrus to soft, warm woods.
