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

Water Bamboo Freesia opens with bamboo, watermelon and freesia, which gives a crisp, juicy and slightly green start. The heart brings lotus and mimosa, soft and lightly powdery, keeping the mood airy and calm. It settles into cedar and sandalwood, a gentle dry woodiness that adds some structure without weight. Overall it is a fresh, light floral woody scent that suits warm days and anyone who wants something quiet.
