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

Opens with an unexpectedly fresh burst of green notes and violet leaf, setting a sophisticated yet inviting tone. The heart unfolds into a well-balanced floral bouquet of jasmine, rose, and lavender, preventing the amber from becoming overly heavy. As it settles, a comforting base of musk, cedar, and vetiver emerges, grounding the amber in a soft, woody embrace. It's an amber that breathes, evolving gracefully on the skin.
