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

Chymara opens with a vibrant burst of mixed berries and juicy mandarin, immediately giving a playful and inviting sweetness. As it settles, delicate lily and rose notes emerge, softening the fruity edge with a touch of floral elegance. The dry-down reveals a comforting warmth of praline and amber, grounded by a subtle cedar and musk, leaving a sweet and clean trail.
