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

Glacier Le Noir envelops you in a veil of aromatic spices and earthy woods. A vibrant opening of pink pepper and ginger melds seamlessly into a heart of orris and lavender, creating a subtly floral yet masculine presence. The base, a rich blend of patchouli and amber, leaves a lasting impression that is both enigmatic and grounded.
