The scent fingerprint
Weighted by intensity across 12 accords.
Every perfume in Sillage is represented as a distribution across canonical accord slugs — a lingua franca for scent. Two fragrances with overlapping fingerprints are scent-twins, even if they share no literal note.

By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit opens bright and sharp, a quick flash of citrus that evaporates within minutes. May rose steps in immediately, a clean, soap-petal petal note that keeps the fragrance hovering just above skin. White musk anchors the heart, turning the rose into something plush yet weightless, while tonka bean adds a faint almond-sweet cream that softens the edges. Patchouli arrives late, thin and dry, giving the musk-rose accord a bittersweet cocoa dust that lingers on hair for hours. Projection stays within arm’s reach; best for office days or humid spring afternoons when you want a polite sillage trail.
