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

Bittersweet opens with an intense hit of dark cocoa, like baking chocolate or rich brownie mix, not overly sweet but deeply aromatic. This edible start slowly mellows, revealing a soft, powdery quality alongside the subtle, apricot-like nuance of osmanthus. A gentle bronze musk anchors the composition, creating a scent that's both comforting and a touch mysterious, evolving from pure gourmand to a softer, skin-blending warmth.
