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

Luxe Bold kicks off with a bright, tart burst of blackcurrant and grapefruit blossom, immediately setting a fresh and lively tone. This energetic opening soon settles into a nuanced heart where the subtle sweetness of osmanthus and lily blends with a hint of warm, earthy nutmeg. The base provides a clean, grounding finish, weaving together the green, woody facets of vetiver, creamy sandalwood, damp patchouli, and a persistent, airy musk that lingers on the skin.
