A flamboyant explosion of candied florals and creamy vanilla - Scherzo is both theatrical and addictive, wrapping you in a plush, opulent aura that lingers powerfully. Not for the shy or minimalist.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Its lush florals and prominent sweet-amber warmth make Scherzo ideal for fall and winter, when its richness provides comfort and presence, but the bright tangerine and narcissus allow it to bloom beautifully in spring as well.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal

Its bold projection and opulent sweetness make it best for dates, evenings, and special occasions, where it can captivate without overwhelming. Too rich for sporty or understated office wear except in small doses.

About

Scherzo Eau de Parfum dazzles with a vivid opening of juicy tangerine and aromatic davana, quickly plunging into a lush heart of black rose, narcissus, and peony. A syrupy, almost candied sweetness emerges, balanced by sultry vanilla, patchouli and resinous amber in the base. The result is a kaleidoscopic floral-gourmand, at once vibrant and deeply enveloping, with a sillage that leaves a memorable, golden trail.
