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

Opens with a lively burst of apple, grapefruit, and orange, quickly leading into a heart of warm spices. Cinnamon and cardamom take centre stage, softened by hints of jasmine and orchid. The dry down settles into a comforting vanilla and cedar blend, maintaining a spiced fruity sweetness that evokes a sense of cosy warmth.
