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

Imagine the first blush of a spring morning captured in a bottle. Aldehydes sparkle like dew-kissed petals, leading into a creamy, intoxicating heart of gardenia, jasmine, and honeysuckle. A subtle fruitiness from mirabelle plum adds a delicate sweetness, before a rich, grounded base of oakmoss, vetiver, and a touch of frankincense brings a sophisticated, enduring warmth. It’s a floral chypre that is both fresh and deeply resonant.
