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.

About

Botanical Essence No. 15 is a sophisticated unisex scent, opening with fresh bursts of bergamot and petitgrain. The heart reveals spicy pink pepper and clove bud notes, while the base combines vetiver and patchouli for a warm, grounding finish. Cinnamon and tonka bean add a soft, sweet warmth beneath the spice, rounding out a composition that feels crisp at first spray and settles into something quietly comforting on the skin.
