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

This one opens with a vibrant, zesty grapefruit blast that immediately energises. As the initial citrus mellows, a delicate, clean jasmine emerges, beautifully intertwined with a subtle, peppery spice. The dry down settles into a warm, resinous embrace of amber and benzoin, adding a sophisticated depth without losing its initial crispness. It's a fresh, floral scent with an oriental twist, perfect for those who enjoy a brighter amber.
