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.

Its weak longevity and intimate sillage make it perfect for close-quarters like the office or casual wear, as it won't offend anyone. However, its understated nature means it might get lost in formal settings or during active dates.

About

Imagine a serene summer afternoon, a gentle breeze rustling through linden trees. The opening is a soft, green whisper of angelica and petitgrain, mingled with a refreshing citrus splash. The heart blooms into a delicate bouquet of linden blossom and cyclamen, evoking sun-dappled sweetness. As it settles, a clean, natural base of black locust and hay emerges, rounded off with a subtle, airy touch of mint and lemon verbena, leaving a tranquil, subtly woody trail.
