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

Of the Missions opens with a comforting, boozy vanilla that quickly melds with balsamic resins. Myrrh and benzoin lend a smoky, almost churchy depth, while a dry cedar note grounds the sweetness. Hints of green tea provide a subtle, almost herbal brightness, preventing the vanilla from becoming cloying. It's a rich, enveloping scent that dries down to a soft, warm, and naturally sweet vanilla skin scent.
