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

Pois de Senteur Parfum opens with hyacinth, cyclamen and rose, a fresh, green and dewy floral start. The heart of lily of the valley and jasmine deepens the bouquet and keeps it clean and sweet. The base is made of musk, sandalwood, vanilla and cedar, which turns it soft, creamy and gently woody. Overall it is a classic floral that feels graceful and powdery, with an old-fashioned charm from its 1927 origins.
