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:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection and skin-like warmth make it versatile, suitable for casual wear and dates without being overpowering. While luxurious, the 'hotel shampoo' or 'shaving cream' vibe might be too relaxed for formal events, and its subtle nature isn't ideal for 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.

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

Grand Cuvée opens with a sparkling pop of Champagne Rosé and a hint of sweet, juicy peach, quickly deepened by a rich, boozy brandy and the intriguing earthiness of cork. The heart introduces a soft skin musk and a creamy argan note that evokes a polished, clean feel. It mellows into a warm, inviting base of smooth cognac, golden amber, and grounding cedar, leaving a sophisticated, woody, and slightly powdery trail.
