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.

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it suitable for a range of occasions, though the unique profile might be too distinctive for highly formal settings or intense activity. Many reviews suggest it's a 'special' scent, suitable for autumn days and intimate gatherings rather than high-energy environments.

About

Opens with a bright, honeyed burst of mimosa and ylang-ylang, a sunny yellow floral accord that's immediately inviting. This sweetness is quickly tempered by a subtle spiciness from saffron and a hint of cumin, which can be polarising but adds intriguing depth. The dry down reveals a comforting base of cashmeran and sandalwood, grounding the floral heart with a soft, woody musk that lingers elegantly.
