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

Once Upon a Time Fortune opens with a zesty, almost meringue-like lemon and grapefruit, brightened by a hint of fresh ginger. This vibrant citrus quickly softens into a subtle heart of orange blossom and a whisper of nutmeg, giving it a cool, almost liquorice-like twist. The dry down is a cosy embrace of soft musk and warm cedar, rounded out by creamy vanilla and tonka bean, settling into a comforting skin scent.
