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.

Its moderate sillage and inoffensive nature make it perfect for the office and casual wear, as many reviews highlight its 'safe' and 'soft' character. It's a bit too subtle for formal events and not invigorating enough for sport.
