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:
Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its weak longevity and moderate sillage make it perfect for casual, everyday wear or the office, where an inoffensive scent is preferred. However, for a date or formal event, it simply won't last or project enough to make an impact.

About

Snow Angel opens with an airy, crisp freshness, evoking a cool breeze rather than a specific note. Soon, a delicate bouquet of jasmine and orange blossom emerges, intertwined with a noticeable, juicy melon sweetness. The base settles into a soft, comforting blend of vanilla and musk, rounded out by a hint of warm sandalwood. It's often described as smelling like freshly shampooed hair or clean laundry.
