Worth Courtesan is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Pierre Bourdon. Courtesan opens with Red Fruits, Bergamot, Cardamom, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Dark Chocolate, Chocolate, Musk, and Amber. Worth's Courtesan carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Divisive yet captivating, Courtesan is a wild ride of spiced pineapple and dark secrets. It's a 'love it or hate it' scent that demands attention, embodying a complex, unapologetically bold femininity.

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

Courtesan opens with a boozy, spiced pineapple punch, quickly followed by a rich, dark wave of cinnamon and cardamom. As it settles, a floral heart of rose and jasmine emerges, softened by creamy vanilla and dark chocolate. The dry down is a warm, musky embrace of amber and sandalwood, with whispers of caramel and peach.
