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 a vibrant burst of bright lemon and mandarin, zesty and invigorating, before softening into a lush floral heart. The star, osmanthus, brings its unique peachy-apricot facet, deepened by creamy ylang-ylang and delicate jasmine and cherry blossom. The dry down is opulent, with warm vanilla, earthy vetiver, and a touch of enigmatic saffron adding depth and a velvety finish.
