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

This opens with a lively, peppery kick, brightened by bergamot and a tart rhubarb edge. Soon, a creamy sandalwood emerges, softened by violet and a subtle fig sweetness. The base settles into a sophisticated blend of papyrus and cedar, with a hint of earthy patchouli and a lingering warmth from cardamom and a touch of cumin.
