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

Aquarelle opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of lemon, bergamot, and mandarin, immediately brightened by a hint of cool mint and a subtle kick of pink pepper. The heart unfurls into a watery floral blend, where fresh violet, delicate rose, and a touch of jasmine mingle with a distinct sea breeze accord. This aquatic heart is seamlessly blended, preventing any single floral from dominating. The dry down is a soft, clean musk, underpinned by a warm, inviting amber and a whisper of frankincense, giving it a gentle, comforting finish that lingers without being loud.
