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 Time opens with bergamot and neroli, a clean and sunny citrus-floral start. The heart combines orange blossom with ginger, so the soft white floral gets a faint, warm spark. The base of cedar and musk is quiet and smooth, giving a dry woody finish with a soft, skin-like feel. It is a graceful, feminine fragrance that stays light from top to bottom and suits daytime or the office.
