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

Ajwa Date & Honey opens with a light, fruity whisper of wine grape alongside a fresh burst of freesia. The heart quickly reveals a soft, natural honey - not overly syrupy or cloying, but rather a warm, comforting sweetness. As it settles, a gentle musk and creamy sandalwood emerge, underscored by a mellow vanilla, creating a light, almost powdery dry-down that keeps it from veering into heavy gourmand territory.
