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.

Office

Its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature make it suitable for casual wear and dates where a delicate, noticeable scent is appreciated. It might be a bit too present for a formal setting and lacks the freshness needed for sport, though it could work in an office if applied lightly.

About

Cio Cio San opens with a bright, zesty burst of yuzu, lemon, and grapefruit, quickly met by a juicy, sweet litchi note. As it develops, a delicate cherry blossom and soft peony emerge, lending a gentle floral heart. A subtle tea accord, perhaps oolong, adds an unexpected dry, slightly smoky depth, while a whisper of ginger brings a touch of warmth. The base settles into a clean, musky cedar and guaiac wood, grounding the ethereal top and mid notes.
