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

The Escential opens with a burst of zesty mandarin and sea air, lifted by a subtle hint of pink pepper that keeps things interesting. It quickly settles into a floral heart dominated by elegant rose and creamy gardenia, with a touch of peony adding a fresh, dewy sweetness. The base grounds it all with warm amber, earthy patchouli, and a unique, slightly green fig tree note, rounded out by smooth tonka and a clean musk. It's a nicely balanced blend, leaning fresh and floral throughout.
