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

Intrusion opens with a sparkling burst of citrus, dominated by zesty grapefruit and bright neroli, with a subtle hint of star anise adding an intriguing, clean spice. This vibrant start quickly softens into a heart of luminous white florals-lily, jasmine, and gardenia-creating a delicate, fresh bouquet. The drydown is a gentle caress of clean musk and a whisper of amber, keeping it grounded without ever becoming heavy.
