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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate sillage and longevity, combined with a 'non-offensive' and clean scent profile, make it perfect for office and casual wear. While not overly formal, its elegant rose heart makes it suitable for relaxed date nights and less formal occasions, but it's too gentle for sport.

About

Portfolio opens with a bright, uplifting burst of clementine and green notes, quickly softened by a sweet pear and a subtle hint of spicy cardamom. The heart unfolds into a delicate, clean rose, deepened by a dark blackcurrant and a touch of aromatic basil and lavender. The base settles into a warm, creamy blend of musk, vanilla, and smooth sandalwood, with a gentle teak wood undertone, creating a comforting and elegant finish.
