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 eau de parfum opens with blood orange, hazelnut and almond, a bright citrus start with a nutty, sweet edge. The heart is chocolate alone, rich and smooth. The base is patchouli, vetiver and brown sugar, earthy and woody with a deep sweetness. It is a warm, comforting gourmand that wears sweet but not light.
