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

Monsieur Le Prince Elegant opens with a zesty burst of bergamot and a cool, invigorating hit of mint, creating an immediately clean and sharp introduction. As it settles, a refined floral heart emerges with green violet leaf and aromatic geranium, adding a sophisticated, slightly powdery depth. The base grounds the composition in warm, creamy sandalwood, earthy vetiver, and a touch of patchouli, leaving a smooth, woody trail that feels both classic and effortlessly modern.
