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 vibrant, naturalistic rose and green facets bloom in spring and suit warmer days, while the refined woody and nutty undertones add dimension for mild autumn. Its freshness and moderate sweetness feel less fitting for cold winter.
Best Occasions
Elisabethan Rose projects with subtle elegance, making it ideal for dates, daytime, and professional settings where natural beauty is appreciated. Its gentle sillage is less suited for sporty or highly formal black tie events.
