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 fresh, clean floral profile make it versatile for most settings, particularly casual and date occasions where its romantic air shines. While not overtly loud, its quality makes it suitable for formal events, but it's too delicate for sport.

About

Ophelia opens with dewy water lily and fresh green notes, immediately transporting you to a lush, verdant garden after a spring shower. The heart blossoms into a radiant bouquet of jasmine and creamy tuberose, softened by the exotic touch of ylang-ylang. As it settles, a clean musk emerges, underpinned by earthy oakmoss and a hint of warm ambergris, grounding the ethereal florals.
