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

This 1935 eau de toilette opens with neroli and ylang-ylang. The heart is a dense floral mix of carnation, styrax, jasmine, orange blossom, rose, vetiver and iris, giving it both sweetness and a powdery, earthy backbone. The base of musk, oakmoss and vanilla adds a mossy, soft and slightly creamy finish. It reads as a refined, old-fashioned floral with a classic structure rather than a modern, light one.
