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

Opening with a lively citrus burst of lemon and mandarin, this fragrance quickly settles into a classic heart of romantic rose and sweet jasmine. The real star, however, is the indulgent base, where creamy vanilla blends seamlessly with earthy patchouli and a hint of warm cedar, creating a rich, comforting, and altogether delicious dry-down that lingers beautifully.
