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

Thé Amara opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of bergamot and a cool, invigorating whisper of mint, intertwined with the crisp, aromatic essence of black tea and a subtle kick of pink pepper. As it evolves, a delicate heart of sweet pea and soft rose emerges, adding a touch of understated florality. The journey concludes with a clean, comforting dry down of cedar, gentle musks, and a hint of creamy cashmeran, leaving a sophisticated skin scent.
