Scent Profile

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.

About

Opening with a zesty burst of lemon, mandarin, and bergamot, Maverick quickly transitions into a sumptuous heart where sweet plum and creamy vanilla entwine with the nutty warmth of tonka bean. The journey culminates in a sophisticated dry down, revealing a grounding blend of earthy patchouli, robust cedar, and a hint of spicy nutmeg, creating a multi-layered and addictive experience.
