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.

This perfume's long-lasting performance and strong sillage, coupled with its heavy, warm oriental character, make it ill-suited for casual or office wear. It truly shines in evening settings or during cooler weather, perfect for dates or formal events where its intensity can be appreciated.

About

Bliss In Paradise kicks off with a bold, almost metallic blend of saffron and bright bergamot, a fiery start that's not for the faint-hearted. This initial blast mellows into a rich heart of labdanum and frankincense, before descending into a deep, complex base. Here, a prominent leather note intertwines with warm amber, earthy oud, and smoky incense, creating a powerful, long-lasting scent that demands attention.
