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

Closeness opens with pink pepper and cardamom, a light, spicy and slightly sparkling start. The heart brings carrot seeds, iris and bamboo, which feel earthy, powdery and green all at once. The base of musk, salt, cashmeran and papyrus is soft, dry and a little mineral, with a gentle skin-like warmth. This eau de parfum is a clean, quiet and modern scent that favours subtlety over projection of any kind.
