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

Lasting Desire lists chocolate, bergamot, lemon and lavender, without a set pyramid. The two citrus notes give a bright, zesty sparkle, and lavender adds a familiar aromatic, clean edge. Chocolate is the surprise, bringing a sweet, rounded gourmand warmth that softens the sharper notes. The result is a scent that sits between fresh and sweet, with a cosy, slightly indulgent feel that works as a casual, friendly everyday fragrance.
