Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition of No 40 unfolds as a cohesive olfactory arc, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Selection Excellence comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.

From the first breath you meet petal-airy top notes: Freesia and Pineapple. These 2 notes set an elegant floral wave that is impossible to miss.

At the core of development you meet Lily, Violet and Violet root holding a silky white floral direction.

The accord architecture rests on these accords: Floral, Fruit, Musc and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Powdery enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.

From the group perspective the structure relies on Floral, Fruit, Whiteflower and Green. It also reaches into Wood, Earthy / Mossy and Musk. Within olfactory families the composition sits in Floral and Green.

In summary No 40 sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best experienced in wear.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Very high (more than 12 hours)
5
Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Very conspicuous
5
Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
