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

Island Life opens with a zesty burst of bergamot, quickly joined by a warm, subtly spicy nutmeg that adds an unexpected depth to the initial freshness. As it settles, a clean, grounding cedar note emerges, carrying the scent through its relaxed, woody dry-down. It's designed to evoke a breezy, laid-back island atmosphere without leaning into typical 'blue' or overly sweet tropical clichés.
