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.

About

Opens with a bright, zesty mandarin and cool mint, giving way to a rich floral heart where powdery iris and sweet jasmine mingle with the unique, slightly fruity hint of pomegranate. The base settles into a warm, balsamic embrace of amber, vanilla, and frankincense, softened by creamy guaiac wood and cedar for a sophisticated and long-lasting drydown.
