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

Basic Union takes a familiar idea and finishes it with care. It opens with juicy pear, bright orange and zesty bergamot, a clean and uplifting start that feels like fresh fruit and sunshine. The heart is a white-floral glow. Orange blossom and neroli share a honeyed, citrus-tinged sweetness, and jasmine sambac adds a rich, creamy depth that gives the bouquet a sensual, rounded shape. It is bright but not sharp. The base brings warmth. Amber is smooth and resinous, musk wraps it in a soft, skin-like cleanness, and vanilla adds a gentle sweetness that makes the whole drydown feel comforting. At 30 percent extrait it wears for many hours with a soft, graceful trail that is pleasant at close range. It is a reliable all-rounder for spring and autumn, working days, dinners and weekend plans, and a good match for anyone who wants a polished floral that does not demand attention. Bottom line: an elegant, modern amber-floral with a glowing orange blossom heart.
