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

Turmeric opens with a warm, earthy spice note that is a little different from the usual pepper or citrus. Hazelnut, iris and geranium sit in the heart, giving a nutty, powdery and slightly green character. Vetiver, cedar and sandalwood form a dry, smooth woody base. As a parfum it wears with some depth, and the overall feel is refined, understated and woody, with enough oddness in the top and heart to feel distinctive.
