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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Fall

The floral and powdery notes shine in spring's cooler temperatures, but may feel too heavy in summer. They also transition well into fall.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Office Casual Formal

Subtle intensity and floral elegance make this fragrance suitable for dates and casual outings. It's understated enough for office environments but not ideal for sports or highly formal events.

Declarable allergens
