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

Cretan Blue opens with a bright, bracing burst of salty bergamot and a hint of zesty ginger, instantly transporting you to a sunny coastline. As it settles, a soft, dewy rose emerges, dusted with a subtle powdery iris, adding a touch of floral elegance. The base grounds the composition with creamy sandalwood and a smooth, ambergris warmth, leaving a clean, sophisticated trail.
