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

Sun Bath opens with a splash of water accord and crisp freesia, sharpened by a hint of pink pepper. Calone takes centre stage, lending a distinct, airy, and sometimes melon-like quality. As it dries, delicate orange blossom, rose, and ylang-ylang emerge, softening the aquatic top. The base settles into a warm, creamy blend of musk, vanilla, and tonka bean, adding depth and a touch of sun-kissed sweetness to the watery freshness.
