Scent Profile

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

Soul opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of red apple, bergamot, and grapefruit, immediately uplifting the senses. This fresh start quickly deepens into a refined heart where aromatic juniper and a hint of bay leaf merge with a soft, warm suede accord, creating a sophisticated yet approachable masculinity. The journey concludes on a smooth base of amber, sandalwood, and patchouli, offering a comforting, grounding finish that lingers subtly.
