Scent Profile

Composition

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

Délices des Bois opens with a bright, clean burst of lemon and neroli, quickly softening into a creamy, luscious fig heart. This isn't a sharp, green fig; it's warm and milky, beautifully balanced with a hint of aromatic sage. The dry-down settles into a sophisticated blend of cedarwood, soft sandalwood, and ethereal Dreamwood, all cushioned by a gentle musk. It feels effortless and refined, never too heavy or sweet.
