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

Ícarus takes flight with a zesty burst of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin, brightened by green petitgrain and a spicy kick of cardamom. The heart unfolds into a clean, aromatic blend of neroli and mint, invigorated by a warm ginger note. It settles into a refined and earthy base of cedar, sandalwood, and oakmoss, providing a sophisticated anchor to the initial citrus brilliance.
