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

Burvuvu opens with a bracing blast of cedar, instantly transporting you to a damp, autumnal forest floor. Earthy mushroom and green basil intertwine with a hint of spicy ginger, while a deep, musky rose emerges, softened by the golden glow of honeyed amber. Castoreum adds an animalic edge, grounding the composition in a dark, sensual warmth. This is a complex scent story, evolving from sharp wood to a rich, resinous dry-down.
