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 clean, inoffensive nature and moderate performance make it ideal for casual wear and the office, where it won't overpower. It's too laid-back for formal events and only moderately suited for dates due to its casual vibe.

About

Exploration Eau de Toilette is a fresh, aromatic scent. The notes are listed without a pyramid, but they read naturally as bright grapefruit and orange alongside herbal sage and rosemary, with aloe vera adding a cool, watery touch. Plum brings a little fruity softness. Underneath sit vetiver, musk and sandalwood, which give it a clean, dry, woody base. The overall feel is crisp, green and outdoorsy, a straightforward masculine fresh scent.
