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.

About

Mombasa is inspired by Byredo Bal d'Afrique and is cheerful from the first spray. Bergamot, lemon, neroli and violet start it up, fresh and slightly sweet. Marigold, jasmine and cyclamen fill the middle, a little green and a little sunny. Vetiver, cedar, musk and amber hold the base with an earthy, woody warmth. You get a few hours out of it, close to the skin. It is mostly a spring and summer scent for offices, lunches and days out, easy to enjoy and not too sweet.
