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

Vacances Eau de Parfum, from 1936 and composed by Henri Alméras, opens with hyacinth and hawthorn. The heart is lilac, mimosa and galbanum, giving it a green, floral and slightly sharp character. The base is simply musk, so it ends soft and clean rather than heavy. It reads as a fresh, springlike floral with a traditional feel.
