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

Gauloise is listed with a single run of notes rather than a pyramid: bergamot, aldehydes, green notes, hyacinth, floral notes, oakmoss and woody notes. That mix points to a classic green floral. Bergamot and aldehydes give a bright, sparkling lift, while green notes and hyacinth bring a fresh, slightly sharp floral character. Oakmoss and woody notes add a dry, earthy depth underneath. It is an elegant, old-fashioned style of scent.
