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.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

About

Volutes opens with a honeyed tobacco, soft and enveloping, quickly giving way to a powdery, almost lipstick-like iris. Spicy warmth from styrax and other notes adds depth, while the overall impression is of a smooth, rich blend. It's a sweet, smoky, and subtly floral concoction, reminiscent of a cosy evening by the fire.
