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

Darwin opens with a distinct, almost bracing cedar note, quickly joined by a prominent, earthy vetiver that forms the backbone of this composition. The base introduces a lively grapefruit, adding a zesty brightness that keeps the scent invigorated and fresh. Subtle woody nuances and a touch of spice weave through, creating a natural, well-rounded aroma that feels both refined and comforting.
