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

Art Nouveau Papyrus opens with a bright spark of bergamot, quickly joined by the herbal, calming presence of lavender. The scent then deepens into a woody, aromatic heart, where the distinct dry, slightly green character of papyrus root emerges. Hints of fresh spice and subtle leather weave through, creating a complex yet smooth and intriguing dry-down.
