Burlesque opens with Blood Orange, settles into a heart of Rose and Iris, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Incense.

This one's a divisive beauty, blending vintage charm with modern allure. You'll either adore its incense-heavy, powdery depth or find it a bit too much.

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

Burlesque opens with a fleeting, juicy burst of blood orange before settling into a powdery embrace of iris and a subtle, jammy rose. The heart quickly gives way to a smoky, resinous base of incense and patchouli, creating a sensual, almost 'cosmetics bag' aroma that lingers on the skin.
