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

Opening with a delicate, aldehydic sparkle, Plus Que Jamais quickly blooms into a plush floral heart where iris takes centre stage, wrapped in a creamy, subtly sweet embrace of vanilla and tonka. The orris adds a soft, powdery veil before settling into a rich, ambered warmth, grounded by a hint of earthy vetiver. It's a sophisticated, comforting scent that evolves beautifully on the skin.
