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
Also Works:
Summer Fall

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

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Casual

Its intimate sillage and realistic, earthy profile make it less suitable for formal or date settings. It's best for casual wear, or for personal enjoyment as many reviewers noted, though its poor longevity means frequent reapplication.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Moss

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

Gaea plunges you into the heart of a primordial forest, opening with the rich, loamy scent of wet earth and decaying leaves. Soon, verdant notes of moss and fern emerge, intertwining with a cool, mineral water accord that evokes a running stream. The experience is deeply organic and earthy, a photorealistic journey through an ancient, damp woodland.
