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 Blanc opens with a zesty burst of bergamot and a hint of spicy cardamom, quickly mellowing into a serene heart of delicate white tea and herbaceous sage. The dry-down reveals a soft, clean musk, underpinned by the subtle, apricot-tinged sweetness of osmanthus, creating an ethereal and comforting aura.
