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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its soft floral and fresh accords, coupled with a generally subtle sillage, make it perfect for office wear and casual outings. It's a bit too understated for formal events or a big night out, as it lacks the projection and complexity to truly stand out.

About

Diamond opens with a sweet, juicy burst of honeyed pear, brightened by a hint of zesty bergamot. This succulent introduction quickly softens into a classic British garden, where a prominent rose takes centre stage, flanked by delicate lily of the valley and the lush fullness of peony. As it settles, a gentle warmth emerges from a base of creamy sandalwood and sturdy cedar, with just a whisper of vanilla adding a touch of subtle sweetness.
