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

Tarte Au Citron opens with a zesty punch of bergamot, lemon, and lime, instantly evoking the feeling of a sunlit kitchen, where fresh ingredients mingle in harmony. As it settles, the heart unfolds to reveal luscious meringue and a hint of jasmine, delicately balanced by cinnamon and sweet pastry - akin to the comforting warmth of baking. Finally, the base of musk, sandalwood, tonka bean, and vanilla wraps around you like a soft, warm blanket, leaving a sweet, decadent trail reminiscent of an inviting lemon pie fresh from the oven.
