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

Poetica opens with a burst of tart berries and juicy passionfruit, quickly enveloped by a dark, almost smoky rose. The heart blooms with a blend of jasmine and opulent tuberose, while a hint of cherry adds a subtle sweetness. It dries down to a mysterious base of woody notes, amber, and a soft, lingering musk, with a whisper of praline for depth.
