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

Imagine a lush, vibrant garden after a spring rain. Juicy peach and verdant green notes meld with a huge bouquet of white and yellow florals like lily of the valley, hyacinth, and peony, giving it a sweet, dewy character. It settles into an elegant, soft base of iris, sandalwood, and oakmoss, adding a gentle earthiness without losing its uplifting freshness.
