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

Ops! In Red opens with floral notes and watermelon, a juicy, light and sweet start. At the heart, magnolia gives a creamy floral feel while pepper adds a small spicy lift. The base of woody notes and musk is soft and quiet. It is a short, simple fruity floral, from 1996, that reads as playful and easy rather than complex.
