Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Milky florals and toasted rice feel cosy, so spring and winter suit it best, with autumn close behind. Summer heat is the weak spot.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Soft and close to the skin, it fits casual days and the office well, and works for a quiet date. It lacks the presence for a formal evening.

About

Calico smells like warm milk, clean cotton and a little static in the air. Toasted rice and bergamot open it gently, nutty and faintly bright. The heart is a soft white floral of jasmine sambac, honeysuckle, heliotrope and orange blossom, wrapped in warm milk and the downy note of kitten fur. Musk and vanilla sit underneath and keep the finish clean and close. It wears at a moderate strength and lasts a few hours, a good fit for a quiet day at home or a slow morning.
