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 a distinctive, almost peppery green burst of tomato leaf and basil, immediately setting it apart from typical fresh scents. This verdant introduction quickly mellows into a bright, airy heart of freesia and jasmine, adding a touch of sophisticated floral sweetness. The base settles into a clean musk, uplifted by a subtle hint of juicy plum, giving it a soft, slightly sweet, and enduring freshness that feels both familiar and intriguing.
