Sorce Ephemera is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Caitlin Hayes. Ephemera settles into a heart of Soil Tincture, Oak, Brown Sugar, and Milk. Sorce's Ephemera carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive yet addictive, Ephemera is a love-it-or-hate-it scent that marries sweet, creamy lactonic notes with unusual earthy and papery facets. Some find it a comforting autumnal embrace, others a cloying, artificial mess, but it's rarely forgotten.

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.

Its moderate projection and skin-like quality make it suitable for office wear, as many reviewers noted its inoffensive nature. The unique, comforting profile also makes it perfect for casual outings and even a bedtime scent, though its distinctive character might feel out of place in very formal settings.

About

Ephemera opens with a surprising creaminess, a milky, sweet vanilla and brown sugar blend that's immediately comforting. As it settles, the earthy tones of soil tincture emerge, softened expertly by cashmeran and a whisper of oak, preventing it from straying into raw "dirt" territory. A subtle, almost green pumpkin note peeks through, alongside a delicate paper accord, evoking vintage books whilst grounding the sweeter elements. The drydown leaves you with a powdery, musky vanilla, subtly sweet and persistently unique.
