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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

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

Its moderate sillage and unusual character make it interesting for casual wear and dates, but perhaps too divisive or unexpected for formal settings. The fresh, fruity start could work for an energetic office environment, but the heavy drydown might be too much for some.

About

Opens with an unexpected clash of salty ozonic notes and a burst of juicy blackberry and bergamot, surprisingly reminiscent of a men's cologne. The heart unveils a creamy apricot and delicate jasmine, softening the initial impact, before settling into a warm, persistent base of vanilla, patchouli, and sandalwood. It's a journey from bracing marine to an almost gourmand, woody drydown.
