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

Whispers of Guidance opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of bergamot, softened by a delicate apricot sweetness. This quickly transitions into a fresh, green heart where blackcurrant provides a tart fruitiness, complemented by the subtle, powdery nuance of iris. The dry down is a clean, gentle musk, with patchouli remaining largely in the background, adding a touch of earthy depth without dominating.
