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.

About

Paradox Vetivier opens with a zesty explosion of grapefruit, lemon, and bergamot, creating an immediate, uplifting freshness. This bright citrus then melds seamlessly into the aromatic heart, where peppery geranium adds a crisp, slightly spicy edge. The base settles into a rich, earthy blend of vetiver and patchouli, softened by warm frankincense and a subtle amber sweetness, creating a clean yet deep finish.
