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.

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Bombshell Gold opens with a bright, delicate litchi, a far cry from the usual sharp fruit notes, creating an initial sparkle. This quickly melts into a creamy heart of vanilla and soft peony, hinting at a cozy sweetness. The dry-down reveals a sophisticated blend of warm woody notes and a subtle, almost sugar cookie-like sweetness, making it surprisingly complex and comforting.
