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

Opening with a zesty burst of orange and grapefruit, spiced by a hint of pepper, Vallée de Farney immediately feels fresh and invigorating. This vibrant start smoothly transitions into a heart of grounding cedar and herbaceous patchouli, with geranium adding a subtly green, almost minty nuance. The dry down reveals a warm, earthy base of vetiver, amber, and musk, balanced by the balsamic sweetness of benzoin, leaving a clean, woody trail.
