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.

Its moderate performance and fresh, inoffensive character make it ideal for casual wear, office environments, and even a quick post-sport freshen up. It's a bit too subdued for formal events but works as a light, pleasant date scent.

About

It opens with bergamot, bay leaf and lemon, a bright and slightly herbal start. Lavender and lemon verbena make up the heart, keeping things fresh and clean. The base is sea water and musk, giving a light, airy and coastal finish. It is a simple, masculine fresh scent that suits daytime and warm weather.
