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

Taro opens with a vibrant burst of tropical pineapple, lifted and refined by the subtle, leathery spice of saffron. As it settles, the heart introduces an intriguing herbal-floral balance, where fresh sage meets delicate jasmine, preventing the fruit from becoming overly sweet. The journey culminates in a deep, resonant base of rich oud, earthy patchouli, and warm, balsamic labdanum, adding a sophisticated, almost smoky gravitas that lingers beautifully.
