Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.
Best Occasions
Given its powerful, classic chypre profile and often-noted strong presence, Ellipse is best reserved for formal events or evening wear. It's too assertive for a casual office setting, but perfect for making a sophisticated statement on a date or at a grand occasion.
