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

Source is a unisex Eau de Parfum by Vallense, created by Pia Long. The brand describes it as a sensual fragrance for special evenings and notes that it was a finalist in the Art and Olfaction Awards. It opens with mandarin and black pepper, then moves towards frankincense, cypriol and oud with a distinct praline sweetness. Amber, benzoin and Vallense's signature musk accord close it out. Wearers repeatedly describe an earthy, smoky, resinous and woody character; some notice a church-like incense impression, while others compare the opening to a smoky barrel. Sweetness has a place in the composition, but it does not read as a conventional dessert scent. It suits anyone who enjoys dark, incense-led fragrances.
