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 fresh, clean profile makes it great for casual daytime wear, summer events, and even dates, though its classic elegance might be a bit much for very formal occasions.

About

A dazzling blast of Sicilian citrus and orange gives way to a sophisticated floral heart of honeysuckle and orange blossom, warmed by a hint of pepper. The dry down is a classic Patou affair, with a wonderfully balanced oakmoss, amber, and a touch of civet lending a subtle, animalic depth. It's a fresh, complex journey that unfolds beautifully on the skin.
