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

Shades opens with mandarin, bergamot and basil, a crisp citrus-herb start. The heart is cool and watery, with tea, water hyacinth, mint, peony and lily. The base keeps it simple with cardamom and woody notes, adding a little spice and dryness. It is a fresh, green floral with a tea-like coolness, light and clean from start to finish.
