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

Imagine stepping into a freshly dewed garden at dawn, the air sharp with aldehydes and the crispness of green notes. This classic floral bouquet unfolds with the elegance of lily of the valley, rose, and jasmine, mingling with the natural scent of grass. As the day warms, a woody, mossy depth emerges, grounded by oakmoss, cedar, and a hint of coumarin, leaving a sophisticated, lingering trail that evokes a powder-soft embrace.
