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

Opens with an intriguing blend of jasmine, neroli, and soft suede, quickly giving way to a rich, complex heart of lavender, rose, and iris, deepened by spicy carnation and exotic ylang-ylang. The base unfurls into a luxurious tapestry of musky castoreum, civet, and supple leather, balanced by earthy vetiver and patchouli, sweet vanilla, and a hint of tobacco for a truly profound and lasting impression.
