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

No9 Benjoin has a short note list given as one group: benzoin, vanilla, styrax, musk and bitter orange. Benzoin and vanilla provide a warm, sweet and balmy base, while styrax adds a smoky, leathery resinous depth. Bitter orange brings a little zesty bitterness that stops the sweetness from becoming too heavy, and musk smooths everything out. The overall effect is a cosy, resinous vanilla scent that feels comforting and rich.
