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

Guilty Crush opens with a vibrant burst of wild strawberry and black cherry, mingling with a playful boozy note that fizzes with champagne-like effervescence. As it settles, a prominent lipstick accord emerges, a unique blend of waxy rose and delicate jasmine, evoking a sophisticated cosmetic scent. The dry down is a warm embrace of vanilla and benzoin, cushioned by soft musk and a hint of cedar, maintaining that intriguing make-up powderiness.
