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

Daring opens with a burst of sweet, spicy raspberry and litchi, quickly joined by the rich, indulgent warmth of cacao and a hint of grapefruit. The heart unfolds into a sophisticated blend of white florals, juicy plum, and a boozy rum note, adding a grown-up dimension. The dry down is a gourmand dream, with caramel, vanilla, and sugar cane melting into a woody base of vetiver and patchouli, creating a complex yet inviting scent.
