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

Ferre by Ferre opens with a powerful aldehydic blast, brightened by bergamot and a hint of peach. This quickly melts into a lush, intricate floral heart where rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang intertwine with a powdery violet and earthy oakmoss. The journey culminates in a deep, warm base of spicy notes, amber, sandalwood, and a touch of vanilla, creating a complex, almost oriental richness that lingers beautifully.
