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

This eau de parfum opens with juicy blackcurrant and bright mandarin. The heart is a soft bouquet of rose, freesia, cyclamen and lily of the valley, which gives it a fresh, watery and slightly green floral feel. The base is Virginia cedarwood and sandalwood, a dry and smooth woody finish that stops the fruit and flowers from turning too sweet. It reads as a classic fruity floral for women, with a clear journey from fruit to flowers to wood.
