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

CYCLE 001 opens with a curious, almost rooty greenness from the angelica and a sharp, peppery kick. This quickly evolves into a soft, ethereal cloud of iris and heliotrope, lending a delicate powdery quality that avoids being overly sweet or 'cakey'. The modern backbone of ambroxan gives it an airy, clean spaciousness, underpinned by an earthy vetiver and a subtle, smoky frankincense, all wrapped in a clean, diffusive musk. It's transparent yet persistent, smelling of 'newness' and calm.
