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

Guerlain's Rose Centifolia Extrait 1 is a deep dive into the heart of a full-bodied rose. It opens with an almost jammy, sweet rose, rich and opulent. As it settles, earthy patchouli emerges, not dirty but smooth, creating a nuanced, slightly chocolatey depth. This is wrapped in warm, balsamic frankincense, grounding the floral sweetness with a sophisticated, woody undertone that lingers beautifully.
