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

Opens with the distinctive, herbal tang of angelica, creating a lively yet grounded introduction. As it settles, the star of the show emerges: a complex, multi-faceted vetiver. Expect a symphony of earthy, rooty, and slightly smoky tones, beautifully complemented by the subtle, powdery elegance of iris and a warming hint of clove, leading to a musky, slightly sweet ambrette drydown.
