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

Opening with a zesty bitter orange and the warm spice of cardamom and coriander, this fragrance immediately feels vibrant and inviting. The heart introduces a crisp, aromatic blend of fir, cedar, and lavender, with a hint of mint adding a cool freshness. It settles into a smooth, musky base where amber, sandalwood, and tonka bean provide a comforting, slightly sweet warmth, rounded off by earthy patchouli and moss.
