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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its subtle sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for close-quarters like the office, though it truly shines in casual settings or during light activity. The marine and fresh notes are perfect for daytime wear, especially in warmer weather, but it lacks the presence for formal events or evening dates.

About

Opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and yuzu, quickly joined by the distinctive green, slightly herbaceous whisper of shiso. The heart introduces a salty, breezy marine accord, evoking fresh sea air and subtle aquatic florals from lily of the valley. It settles into a soft, woody base with an intriguing, delicate 'seashell' nuance that avoids typical heavy notes, creating a clean, understated finish.
