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

Opens with a zesty burst of bergamot and lime, sharpened by a distinct green coriander and clary sage. The heart settles into a herbal lavender with a subtle clove spice, before a dry down into a clean, woody musk of cedar and vanilla. It's fresh, earthy, and softly spiced.
