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 Forest opens with a bright spark of bergamot and a zesty ginger kick, quickly ushering in a heart of rich spicy notes, sweetened by warm vanilla and a sticky honey accord. The journey culminates in a smooth, subtle neroli base, intertwining with the lingering warmth to create a deep, woody character. It's a scent that evolves, revealing layers of complexity.
