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

Opening with a bold, earthy hit of saffron and warm nutmeg, Saffron Orris quickly introduces a creamy mandarin zest before settling into its powdery heart. Here, the sophisticated, almost buttery iris intertwines with a green, aromatic sage. The base gently rounds out with a soft, sweet, and comforting powdery finish, maintaining its unique spice and floral character.
