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.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

This cologne lists only two notes, bergamot and vetiver, so it keeps things plain and tidy. Bergamot gives the opening a bright citrus lift, sharp and fresh with no sweetness in the way. Vetiver follows with a dry, earthy, green backbone that grounds the citrus. With so few ingredients there is little to decode, and that is the appeal. It is a light, clean, unisex scent that works as a quick refresh in warm weather or a tidy everyday splash. Expect simplicity rather than complexity.
