Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
The blend of powdery iris, lavender, and sandalwood suits cool spring and crisp autumn days, while its moderate warmth and freshness make it wearable in milder winters but less ideal in summer heat.
Best Occasions
The gentle projection and serene, non-intrusive character make it excellent for the office and casual wear, while its subtle complexity lends itself to intimate settings but is too soft for sport or high-formality occasions.
