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

Opening with an intriguing blend of bright bergamot, exotic saffron, and the ancient allure of frankincense, this fragrance immediately signals something special. The heart unfurls into a rich bouquet of rose and geranium, warmed by a hint of spicy pink pepper and a decadent honeyed sweetness. It settles into a luxurious base of clearwood, balsamic labdanum, and benzoin, creating a smooth, elegant, and almost amber-like finish that lingers beautifully.
