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

Opening with a warm, resinous hug of amber, this fragrance quickly unfurls a lavish, deep rose at its heart. It's not a dewy, fresh rose, but a rich, velvety bloom, almost jammy in its intensity. As it settles, a soft, creamy vanilla emerges from the base, supporting the opulent rose without ever overshadowing it, resulting in a comforting yet sophisticated dry down.
