Atkinsons Robinson Bear is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Fabrice Pellegrin. Robinson Bear opens with Star Anise, Chamomile, and Calone, settles into a heart of Cedar, Patchouli, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss and Labdanum. Atkinsons's Robinson Bear carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher and polarises opinions. If you like a distinctive, robust aquatic with an anise-heavy punch, you'll love it. If not, it's probably best to steer clear, as it doesn't try to please everyone.

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 Summer
Also Works:
Fall

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its above-average longevity and prominent sillage make it a bit much for the office but great for casual outings or dates where you want to make an impression. The fresh aquatic and woody accords lend themselves well to daytime casual and sport, but it lacks the gravitas for formal wear.

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 Oakmoss

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

Robinson Bear takes you on a marine adventure, opening with a bold hit of star anise and the fresh, airy lift of calone, reminiscent of a crisp ocean breeze. This segues into aromatic juniper and earthy patchouli with clean cedar, grounding the scent with a woody backbone. The dry down settles into a persistent, mossy base of labdanum and oakmoss, leaving a sophisticated, lingering echo of the sea and forest.
