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

Symmetry opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and petitgrain, quickly joined by the delicate, green sweetness of neroli and orange blossom. This fresh, clean introduction gradually deepens into a sophisticated woody heart, where the earthy, slightly animalic nuances of cypriol oil and natural oud emerge, balanced by warm amber and a soft, clean musk in the drydown. It's a journey from vibrant citrus to a refined, natural oud experience.
