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

Paris Bangalore opens with a tantalising spice combination of warm clove and exotic saffron, immediately setting an inviting tone. This quickly mellows into a rich heart where creamy vanilla and the resinous warmth of Tolu balsam emerge, creating a balsamic, slightly sweet core. The journey concludes with a deep, comforting base of amber and tonka bean, adding a velvety, almost nutty sweetness that lingers beautifully on the skin.
