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

Yardley Gentleman Suave opens with a bright, zesty burst of citrus from orange and bergamot, underscored by herbaceous rosemary. The heart unfolds into a clean, slightly powdery floral blend of lavender, rose, and neroli, lending a soft, refined air. A warm, earthy base of patchouli and musk provides a subtle anchor, with a whisper of clove adding a touch of gentle spice.
