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

Imagine a splash of zesty citrus and fresh rainwater, instantly invigorating your senses. This quickly blossoms into a bright floral heart, tempered by a soft, warm amber glow. The base settles into a refreshing blend of ripe fruit and salty sea notes, like a cool ocean breeze on a warm day. It's sunshine in a bottle, crisp and delightfully juicy.
