Scent Profile

Composition

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

Essence de la Vie opens with a refreshing, zesty burst of apple and lemon, brightened by a hint of mint. This fresh introduction quickly mellows into a warm, inviting heart where creamy tonka bean and rich ambroxan are tempered by a touch of geranium. The base deepens with classic vanilla, earthy vetiver, and robust cedar, leaving a long-lasting, sophisticated amber-woody trail. It's an effortless blend of fruity brightness and seductive warmth.
