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.

Despite being an EDT, reviews suggest good longevity and moderate sillage, making it versatile for many settings. Its fresh, floral character makes it perfect for casual daytime wear and even appropriate for a refreshed office presence, though it might be too gentle for a very formal evening event.

About

Foliflora opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and neroli, quickly softened by the sweet, delicate whisper of sweet pea. The heart blooms into a lush garden of freesia and gardenia, with the subtle, juicy sweetness of apricot adding a touch of fruitiness. It settles into a warm, creamy base of sandalwood and vanilla, anchored by the unique, subtly green touch of angelica, preventing it from veering into overt sweetness.
