Alfred Sung Hei is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002, created by David Apel. Hei opens with Bergamot, Violet Leaf, Bamboo, and Mint, settles into a heart of Neroli, Jasmine, Lavender, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Mahogany. Alfred Sung's Hei carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This is your quintessential clean, fresh, and slightly green scent. It's affordable, approachable, and a solid choice for warm weather, though its longevity could be better. Don't expect groundbreaking, but it's a reliable budget option.

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

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its clean, fresh, and inoffensive profile makes it an excellent choice for the office or casual daytime wear, as noted by many reviewers. The weaker longevity and sillage mean it's less suited for dates or formal events where a more impactful fragrance is often preferred, but perfect for a quick refresh after sport.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Hei opens with an immediate botanical burst of green bamboo and crisp violet leaf, brightened by zesty bergamot and a cool whisper of mint. As it settles, a watery accord emerges, mingling with subtle lavender and a unique hint of dill, creating an aquatic freshness. The base finally surfaces with clean musk and soft cedar, grounded by warm mahogany and a touch of sweet tonka bean.
