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

Opening with a bright, dewy burst of hyacinth and orange blossom, Jess immediately evokes a sense of spring freshness. Lily of the valley soon joins the chorus, lending a soft, green sweetness that's both delicate and enchanting. As it settles, subtle woody notes ground the composition, preventing it from becoming overly sweet and adding a touch of sophisticated balance. This is a linear scent, maintaining its floral heart throughout its impressive wear.
