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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and clean floral profile, make it ideal for casual daytime wear and the office. While elegant, it's a bit too understated for formal evening events and not robust enough for sport.

About

Clair de Jour opens with a bright, airy burst of aldehydes and fresh green notes, accented by the delicate, slightly sweet aroma of hyacinth and black locust. As it settles, a lush bouquet of jasmine, lily of the valley, and magnolia emerges, lending a clean, floral heart. The drydown offers a refined base of soft musk, creamy sandalwood, and a subtle hint of oakmoss and civet, adding depth without losing its light, ethereal quality.
