Top: Anise, Bergamot, Lemon
Heart: Violet, Mimosa, Rose, Freesia, Carnation
Base: Iris, Almond, Vanilla, White Musk, Sandalwood, Cedar

Why it fades when it does

Lemon, bergamot and freesia are the most volatile notes here, so the opening thins first. Cedar and iris carry the middle of the wear. What others still catch near the end is vanilla, white musk and sandalwood, the slowest to evaporate.
