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

Scherrer 2 opens with a surprisingly bright burst of pineapple, anise, and citrus, quickly mellowing into a rich, sweet heart of honeyed white florals - particularly tuberose, jasmine, and rose. The base delivers a warm, luxurious drydown of creamy sandalwood, amber, and vanilla, underpinned by the subtle warmth of benzoin and musk. It's a complex, multi-layered journey that embodies classic perfumery.
