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

Gieffeffe opens with a vibrant burst of Mediterranean citruses - lemon, orange, and mandarin - brightened by a hint of peach and spicy coriander. The heart introduces a delicate floral bouquet of freesia, jasmine, and iris, warmed by cardamom and nutmeg. It settles into a clean, woody base of cedar, sandalwood, and musk, with a touch of amber and patchouli for depth.
