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

Opens with an explosion of clean lily and lotus, quickly smoothing into honeyed osmanthus and jasmine. The initial sharp aquatic edge of its predecessor is softened, giving way to a nectar-sweet, apricot-fruity warmth. It then descends into a cosy, rounded amber and woody base, leaving a soft and sophisticated trail.
