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

A crisp burst of yuzu and mandarin orange kicks things off, delivering a vibrant, citrus-led opening that feels instantly refreshing. This lively start soon mingles with the herbal nuance of sage and a hint of warm cardamon spice. The dry down settles into an earthy, clean vetiver base, tempered by a subtle amber warmth, keeping it grounded yet distinctly fresh. It's a bright, aromatic aquatic with a dash of green elegance.
