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.

Given its strong, resinous character and decent longevity, this scent is best suited for cooler weather and intimate settings. It's too heavy for sport and might be overpowering for office environments, but shines in casual and romantic situations.

About

Opoponax by Les Néréides opens with a fleeting citrus spark before settling into a rich, powdery warmth. A complex amber heart, laced with balsamic opoponax and creamy vanilla, creates a sensual, slightly sweet, and woody olfactory experience. Benzoin adds a smooth, resinous depth, evoking an old-world charm that's both comforting and luxurious.
