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

It kicks off with a bright, zesty burst of orange blossom and neroli, a proper citrus punch. Then, things settle into a sophisticated floral heart of soft orris and jasmine, hinting at elegance. The dry down is where the magic happens: a deep, smoky birch and oakmoss provide a chypre backbone, fused with a subtle, worn leather accord that's utterly captivating. There's a hint of earthy patchouli too, grounding the whole affair with a rustic warmth.
