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 Fall
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its sweet and fresh profile makes it versatile for casual wear and dates, but it might be a bit too punchy for a very formal office setting. The 'everyday wear' sentiment from reviews supports its high casual and decent date scores.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Lemongrass Cymbopogon Flexuosus Oil from Lemongrass

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

Opens with a juicy burst of sweet tangerine and orange, quickly joined by an invigorating green freshness from lemongrass. This vibrant top transitions into a heart where a surprising depth emerges. The base of earthy patchouli and dry cedar provides a firm, grounding anchor, balancing the initial sweetness and green notes. There's an underlying warmth, almost a spiced quality, that makes it feel richer than its simple note breakdown suggests.
