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

Tarsila opens with an unusual, intriguing hit of cactus, quickly softened by a lush bouquet of peony, orchid, and sweet mimosa, with a subtle undercurrent of juicy pear. As it settles, a bright nectarine note emerges, seamlessly blending into a warm, creamy base of vanilla, amber, and sandalwood, with a delicate hint of incense providing depth.
