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

Marlborough opens with a fresh, spicy vigour, quickly settling into an aromatic heart where lavender and geranium weave a clean, slightly powdery floralcy. As it dries, the dominant cedar emerges, grounding the composition with a warm, woody depth, occasionally hinting at a soft, spiced leather. It's a classic evolution from bright and herbaceous to a comforting, masculine base.
