Heartas listed

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.

This scent leans fresh and green, making it versatile for casual daywear and even some office settings, though the unique asphalt accord might be too distinctive for more formal occasions. Its moderate sillage and longevity mean it's unlikely to overpower, allowing for broader casual appeal.

About

Portobello Road opens with a vivid burst of bright mandarin and crisp green notes, lifted by an aromatic myrtle. The heart unfolds with a delicate, clean rose complemented by the herbal depth of clary sage. As it settles, an intriguing aquatic 'rain' accord emerges, grounding the scent with an earthy vetiver and patchouli, famously hinting at wet asphalt for a modern twist.
