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.

About

Real, from 2006, is a masculine scent that opens with a fresh mix of green notes, a water accord, lemon, mandarin, bergamot and sea water. The heart adds cardamom, lily of the valley, rose and orange blossom, giving a light, clean floral and a little spice. The base is amber, vetiver, sandalwood, moss, resins and patchouli, which gives a woody, earthy finish. It moves from marine freshness to warmth in clear steps, and suits casual daytime wear for anyone who likes clean, easy scents.
