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

Khadine opens with an intoxicating blend of powdery iris and violet, immediately followed by a distinctive, gummy-green galbanum and a haze of incense. The heart unfolds with peppery carnation and delicate lily of the valley, settling into a rich, warm base of creamy sandalwood and soft musk. It's a complex, spicy floral with a balsamic depth and a surprisingly modern edge.
