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

Kahaia opens with a sparkling citrus lift from grapefruit and mandarin, quickly warmed by a hint of pink pepper. The heart unfurls into a lush bouquet of white florals, dominated by the exotic, creamy sweetness of tiare flower and jasmine. As it settles, a delicious base of amber, vanilla, and praline emerges, wrapping the floral notes in a warm, sensual embrace that's never cloying.
