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

Old Windsor kicks off with a vibrant burst of bitter orange, lemon, and bergamot, delivering a zesty and invigorating opening. This bright citrus cocktail soon mellows into a heart of aromatic lavender, softened by a delicate touch of rose and the green nuances of lemon verbena. The base is where the magic truly unfolds, settling into a rich, creamy sandalwood alongside clean musk and grounding cedar, leaving a warm and enduring woody trail.
