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.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with its distinct, somewhat 'vintage' character, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its unique charm and romantic undertones could make it an intriguing choice for a date or a statement piece for casual outings.

About

Sballo opens with a dry, almost dusty embrace of hay and aromatic sage, quickly joined by the earthy, green notes of vetiver and geranium. As it settles, a floral heart of rose, violet, and orange blossom emerges, softened by the deep warmth of resins and a rich, slightly animalic musk. The sandalwood provides a smooth, grounding finish, making it feel like a cherished old leather-bound book or a rustic, sun-baked barn.
