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

Anthracite opens with an invigorating burst of hyacinth and basil, brightened by lemon and bergamot for a fresh, green introduction. The heart unfolds into a rich floral tapestry of orange blossom, rose, and iris, with hints of tuberose adding creamy depth. As it dries down, a warm, mysterious base of amber, vetiver, and musk emerges, grounded by cedar and a touch of vanilla, creating a uniquely dark and verdant oriental floral.
