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 juicy burst of mandarin, sweet melon, pear, and a hint of cherry, NIJI mat quickly transitions into a refreshing aquatic heart. Sea notes and rainwater mingle with solar accords, delicate rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and lily of the valley, creating a bright and airy floral blend. The dry down settles into a soft and clean musk, warmed by vanilla and tonka bean, and given a modern edge with ambroxan and cashmeran.
