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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With its long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, this fragrance is best suited for evenings and special occasions where its rich floral and animalic notes can shine without overwhelming. While some find it wearable for day, its depth leans more towards formal or romantic settings than casual or sporty activities.

About

Adieu Sagesse opens with neroli, narcissus, bergamot, lily of the valley and blackcurrant, a bright and green floral start. The heart is lush and white, with carnation, jasmine and tuberose. The base of civet, musk and vetiver adds a warm, animalic depth under the flowers. Created in 1925 by Henri Alméras, it moves from fresh to heady to deep and skin-like. A graceful, classic feminine for those who enjoy older styles.
