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

Hardcore Rose opens with a juicy burst of plum, quickly transitioning into a clean, modern rose heart. While not a traditional heavy rose, it offers a refreshing take, often perceived as a subtle raspberry note. The composition settles into a warm, gentle amber base that provides a touch of sweetness without being cloying, maintaining an overall accessible fruity-floral profile.
