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 sillage and unique green-leather profile make it suitable for casual and even some date settings, though its prominent leather and oud might be too bold for very formal events. The fresh, cooling aspects, particularly in warmer weather, make it surprisingly versatile for day-to-day wear.

About

Opens with an intriguing, verdant blend of sweet grass and crisp juniper, quickly joined by the earthy, almost hay-like mate. The heart evolves into a clean, slightly astringent green tea note, backed by a persistent grassy freshness. The real magic unfolds as the drydown reveals a prominent, cold leather, balanced by a subtle, medicinal oud and a warm, woody embrace of tonka and ambergris, grounding the green notes without overpowering them.
