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

Tersus opens with a vibrant, juicy burst of crisp green apple, bright bergamot, and a subtle kick of spicy ginger. As it settles, a clean, aromatic heart emerges, blending the herbal freshness of sage and juniper with the crisp, green facets of geranium. The dry down is a comforting embrace of warm amber and cedar, grounded by earthy vetiver, creamy tonka bean, and a hint of spiritual frankincense, leaving a refined woody trail.
