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

It kicks off with a spirited, fresh burst of grapefruit and cardamom, quickly melting into a refined heart where black tea and orange blossom intertwine. The base is an innovative take on leather, more suede than saddle, smoothed by cedar and patchouli. It’s a clean, almost herbal leather experience, notably lacking any harsh animalic edge from start to finish.
