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

Opens with an invigorating burst of citrus, zesty lemon, and bright bergamot, immediately spiced up with a warm, peppery hit of nutmeg and cardamom. The heart unfolds with an unexpected, delicate jasmine that weaves through the spice, leading to a dry, woody base of cedar and vetiver. A faint wisp of incense adds a grounding, smoky whisper without ever becoming heavy or overtly dark.
