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

Imagine a sunny, sparkling opening of grapefruit and mandarin, softened by the playful tartness of white currant. This vibrant start gracefully gives way to the delicate, honeyed sweetness of elderflower, underscored by the green, slightly spicy nuances of petitgrain and coriander. As it settles, a smooth base of vetiver and ambergris provides a clean, refined depth, with a whisper of comforting tonka bean.
