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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Spring and summer receive all five season votes in the small local sample; fall receives two and winter one. This supports a warm-season lean but not a strict seasonal restriction.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Office Date Casual Formal Sport

Daytime votes exceed nighttime votes, but only six selections are recorded and comments do not establish a reliable occasion pattern. Neutral scores avoid overreading the small sample.

About

Nature opens with the cool impression of morning dew, fresh nettle and cardamom. Magnolia adds a soft, honeyed floral edge, while ivy and geranium keep the heart leafy and green. Vetiver, oakmoss and patchouli ground the composition with musky earthiness. Its city-garden-at-sunrise story sits alongside a profile that moves between dewy freshness, aromatic spice and damp green depth. The small group of wearer accounts is consistently warm about the composition. One calls it balanced, comforting and unusually green, with cardamom gently present. Another describes a bracing but not sharp green scent led by ivy, nettle and a misty dew impression. A third finds it watery, herbal and fresh. These descriptions support a natural, aromatic character, although the available community sample is limited and should not be treated as broad consensus. The wearer ratings favour long-lasting wear, but only three people selected a duration response. Sillage is most often moderate, with one strong response. The small sample supports a slightly above-moderate longevity score, while projection stays moderate. Season and time-of-day selections lean towards spring, summer and daytime, but the totals are very small. They suggest warm-weather use without proving that Nature is unsuitable in other seasons. Nature suits someone who wants a complex green perfume with a soft, dewy opening and an earthy finish. Its freshness is aromatic and leafy rather than citrus-bright. The house pairs it with Human as a contrasting composition and suggests layering them in either order, though Nature can be worn alone. The current official bottle is 50 ml Extrait de Parfum with 25% oil concentrate; the 2 ml sample is not a separate concentration variant.
