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:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection makes it suitable for office wear, while its fresh, elegant character fits well for dates and casual outings. The sophisticated blend of citrus and woods also allows it to work in more formal settings, though its inherent brightness might feel less 'serious' than other formal options. It's not suited for sport due to its refined nature.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Imagine a vibrant burst of zesty bergamot and lemon, sharpened by a playful hint of pink pepper. This bright opening soon mellows into a sophisticated heart where aromatic juniper meets the subtle spice of ginger. As it dries down, a warm, grounding base of cedar and sandalwood emerges, creating a soft, refined woody finish that lingers beautifully.
