Imprint She Came to Stay is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Timothy Han. She Came to Stay opens with Lemon, Geranium, and Basil, settles into a heart of Clove and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Imprint's She Came to Stay carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This isn't just another fougère; it’s a masterclass in unexpected twists and intelligent blending. Divisive for some due to its unusual spiced citrus opening, but almost universally appreciated for its sophisticated, evolving character and high-quality feel.

Scent Profile

Composition

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

It bursts open with a sharp, vibrant lemon and green basil, undercut by a surprisingly complex, almost root beer like sweetness. As the initial zest settles, a warm, inviting heart of nutmeg and clove emerges, adding a spiced depth that's both comforting and intriguing. The drydown then morphs into a rich, earthy embrace of patchouli, vetiver, and cedar, softened by a hint of oakmoss, creating a refined woody-amber finish.
