Scent Profile

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

Le Mat opens with an intoxicating blast of peppery spices - nutmeg and clove leading the charge - fused with herbaceous geranium. This spicy-fresh introduction gradually gives way to a complex heart where a dark, sometimes powdery rose emerges, often enveloped by an earthy, slightly sweet immortelle. The base settles into a warm, woody embrace of cashmere wood and patchouli, adding depth and a subtle hint of a dry, almost boozy richness that lingers for ages.
