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

Nashwa opens with a bright spark of bergamot and neroli, quickly giving way to a creamy, almost edible heart of coconut and cacao. This delicious duo is expertly balanced by a gentle, not-too-overpowering oud, creating a warm, spicy, and subtly sweet aroma that lingers beautifully. A hint of musk in the dry down adds depth and sensuality.
