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

Opening with a bright yet refined blend of bergamot, lemon, and a hint of calming lavender, Black Orris quickly settles into its sophisticated heart. Here, a prominent, powdery iris note is beautifully spiced with pepper, creating a smooth and slightly intriguing blend. The base unfolds into a warm embrace of musk and creamy sandalwood, underscored by rich labdanum and the subtle allure of ambergris, ensuring a long-lasting, elegant dry down.
