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

Opening with a juicy melon and bright gardenia, The Spirit of Moonflower immediately conjures a fresh, dewy sensation. The heart blooms with delicate cyclamen and linden tree, softened by lily of the valley, lending a gentle, airy floralcy. The base settles into a whisper of classic rose and jasmine, leaving a clean, subtly sweet trail.
