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

Dark Cherry Duchess opens with an intoxicating mix of black cherry and cacao pod, laced with the warmth of clove and saffron. This fragrant tapestry is overlaid by the lush sweetness of bitter orange and the floral hints of jasmine, creating an alluring introduction that captivates the senses. As it settles, the heart reveals velvety almond and rich iris, grounding the fragrance in sophistication. The luxurious brown sugar base adds a final touch of comforting sweetness, making it a delightful companion during the brisk fall and winter months.
