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.

Its fresh, fruity, and light projection makes it ideal for casual wear and even sports, as it's not overpowering. However, its 'girlish' and 'inoffensive' nature and limited longevity make it less suitable for formal events where a more commanding presence is typically desired.

About
