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.

Best For:

Date Formal

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it office-appropriate without being overwhelming, and many find its 'clean' quality suitable for professional settings. While some see it as a lighter 'Alien' type, its balanced floral and woody notes allow for versatility across casual and date settings, though it might lack the gravitas for truly formal events.

About

Opens with a clean, airy jasmine sambac and delicate orchid, immediately establishing a floral presence that's neither too sweet nor too heavy. As it settles, a touch of spicy pink pepper emerges, adding a subtle spark before the creamy, powdery iris takes over, lending a soft, almost incense-like quality. The base of cedar grounds the composition, providing a woody counterpoint that prevents it from becoming overly ethereal.
