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

Opening with a bright, vibrant splash of neroli and ylang-ylang, Black Princess immediately captivates. Violet adds a delicate, powdery swirl before the heart unfurls with a classic rose, spiced up by the intriguing warmth of ginger and cardamom. As it settles, a smooth, warm base of mate, ambergris, and musk creates a soft, sensual harmony that lingers beautifully on the skin.
