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

Contessa exudes a luxurious warmth with its blend of spicy and sweet heralding notes. Rich amber and saffron pave the way for the subtle elegance of rose and pear, balanced by creamy vanilla and opulent suede. A fragrance that embodies elegant refinement and modern warmth. Pear and pepper open it before rose, saffron and suede build a soft leathery heart, and vanilla and patchouli warm the finish. Elegant and evening-leaning, it suits autumn and winter.
