Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Given its fresh, light citrus and spicy character, along with its short longevity, this is perfectly suited for casual wear, office environments, and post-gym freshness where a subtle scent is preferred. It's too fleeting and understated for dates or formal events.

About

Exploding with a vibrant, zesty grapefruit, this fragrance immediately awakens the senses. A playful dash of pink pepper adds a subtle, fresh spiciness, preventing the citrus from becoming too one-dimensional. It settles into a clean, slightly musky aromatic that's refreshing and ephemeral, fading gently after its initial exhilarating burst.
