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

Exalting Aromaparfum envelops you in a rich, warm embrace. It opens with a punchy blend of bitter orange, cypress, and a generous kick of cinnamon, quickly melting into a heart of woody cedar, aromatic cardamom, and neroli. The dry-down is pure heaven: creamy vanilla and tonka bean are spiced up by a hint of pepper and grounded by the smooth, slightly 'dirty' warmth of sandalwood. It's a complex dance of sweet, spicy, and woody. Very much an Oriental Woody fragrance for those who like a gourmand edge.
