Scent Profile

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.

About

Cafe Green opens with a bright, fruity burst of mandarin and pear, quickly settling into a serene heart where delicate rose and jasmine mingle with a calming tea accord. The dry down is soft and comforting, with a whisper of cedarwood and clean musk, creating a gentle, airy finish.
