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

Alfa opens with a peculiar, almost medicinal saffron, softened by herbal thyme and a hint of spicy nutmeg. It soon morphs into a warm, gently floral heart with jasmine and carnation, evoking a 'spicy cotton' or 'gourmet cotton candy' feel. The dry-down is a restrained blend of dry woods, creamy sandalwood, subtle oud, and a clean musk, creating a quiet yet intriguing aura that lingers close to the skin.
