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 gentle character and moderate projection make it excellent for everyday wear and office settings, as it won't overpower. The limited longevity and subtle nature mean it's less suited for occasions demanding a stronger, more lasting presence.

About

Opens with a bright, herbaceous burst of clary sage and bergamot, quickly settling into a prominent English lavender heart. This isn't your harsh, medicinal lavender; it's softened by powdery violet and delicate jasmine, with a gentle green hint from geranium. The base grounds it with warm cedar and a whisper of vanilla, making for a smooth, airy, and mildly woody dry-down.
