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.

Its moderate projection and fresh, warm, slightly sweet profile make it highly versatile for casual wear and suitable for office environments where subtlety is key. It's perhaps a bit too relaxed for formal events and not energetic enough for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Velvety Butternut opens with an unexpected fresh, green zing, but quickly settles into a comforting vanilla and tonka bean sweetness. The patchouli here is expertly blended, adding an earthy depth without dominating, while aromatic and warm spicy facets weave through, evoking a sense of homely comfort. It's a gentle, subtly sweet skin scent, reminiscent of a delicate dessert rather than a gourmand overload, with an amber base providing lasting warmth.
