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.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Its gentle composition with moderate sillage makes it ideal for office and casual wear, as it's unlikely to offend. While not overtly seductive for a date, its clean and elegant profile suits formal occasions too. It's too soft for active sports.

About

Imagine morning dew on a lush garden. The opening is a crisp, fresh blend of tea and rainwater, leading into a delicate heart of lily of the valley, jasmine, and rose. A soft, airy musk and grounding cedarwood provide a gentle, clean finish, reminiscent of a classic floral bouquet.
