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

Calicantus opens with ylang-ylang, orange blossom and bergamot, a creamy and slightly sunny start. The heart is a powdery floral mix of carnation, narcissus and jasmine. In the base, oakmoss, woody notes and amber carry a soft peach and vanilla sweetness. It is a classic floral with a powdery, mossy finish, elegant and a little old-fashioned in the best way, and it wears with a quiet, composed warmth.
