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.

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's not overpowering, making it suitable for close-quarters like the office or casual outings. Many reviews highlight its 'everyday' and 'daytime' appeal, though its creamy depth can stretch to an evening date.

About

Beau de Provence opens with a bright burst of fig and grapefruit, immediately transporting you to a sun-drenched Mediterranean orchard. As it settles, the green, herbaceous notes of basil and mint emerge, adding a refreshing, aromatic twist. The base is a creamy, woody blend of sandalwood, cedar, and vetiver, providing a comforting, sophisticated anchor to the initial freshness.
