Glamfume True Story is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. True Story opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Grapefruit, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Clover, Orange, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Chocolate, Musk, Leather, and Amber. Glamfume's True Story carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

True Story is a big, busy feminine scent with citrus, ginger and mint on top, a fruit and floral heart, and a sweet base of vanilla, chocolate and patchouli. It is ambitious and a little chaotic, best for those who like a lot going on.

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.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

True Story packs in a long list of notes. It opens with bergamot, grapefruit, lemon, mandarin, neroli and petitgrain for a sharp citrus start, with nutmeg, ginger and mint adding spice and cool. The heart brings pineapple, blackberry and apple alongside rose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, violet, cardamom, galbanum, thyme, coriander, rosemary, clover and orange. The base is sweet and warm, with patchouli, vanilla, chocolate, tonka bean, musk, cedar, amber, oakmoss and leather. It is a fruity, floral, gourmand scent that wears rich and layered.
