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

Rosendo Mateu Nº 2 opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and lemon, quickly giving way to a heart of delicate florals, where rose and geranium intertwine with softer blooms. The real star, however, is the luxurious suede in the base, wrapped in creamy sandalwood and earthy patchouli, providing a sophisticated, slightly animalic warmth that lingers beautifully.
