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

The opening is sharp and green, with galbanum, green notes, aldehydes, coriander and bergamot. The heart is a large floral bouquet of rose, ylang-ylang, carnation, tuberose, lily of the valley, jasmine and gardenia. The base brings oakmoss, leather, vetiver, styrax, benzoin and Virginia cedarwood, giving a dry, mossy, resinous and slightly smoky depth. It is a bold green floral with a classic structure.
