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

Avant Ruby bursts open with a zesty, almost startling, trio of bergamot, lemon, and tangerine. This lively citrus introduction quickly mellows, allowing a beautiful heart of romantic rose and sweet jasmine to bloom, subtly spiced with cinnamon and a hint of orange. The journey concludes on a soft, clean base of musk and amber, grounded by earthy vetiver and patchouli, leaving a fresh, powdery trail.
