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

Mate Leaves opens with bergamot, lemon, mandarin and cardamom, a bright citrus blend with a little spice. The heart pairs mate with lily of the valley, a green, leafy herbal note against a clean floral. In the base, musk and driftwood leave a soft, dry, woody trace. Created by Verônica Kato, it is a fresh green scent that feels outdoorsy and calm. It stays light from start to finish.
