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

Amygdala opens with a complex, almost medicinal burst of galbanum and guaiac wood, softened by a hint of pink pepper. As it evolves, a vibrant heart of jasmine sambac, orange blossom, and ylang-ylang unfurls, interwoven with subtle spice from cinnamon and the earthy depth of coffee. The dry down settles into a sophisticated blend of vetiver, labdanum, and violet, creating a mesmerising, ever-changing experience that’s both woody and floral.
