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

Liquidnight kicks off with a zesty burst of bergamot and lime, sharpened by a hint of saffron. It quickly deepens into an aromatic heart of soothing lavender, earthy sage, and the distinctive clean, slightly lemony nuances of hinoki wood. The dry down settles into a mysterious blend of smoky incense and soft musk, underscored by a creamy vanilla that adds a touch of warmth and sweetness without veering into gourmand territory.
