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.

Formal Sport

Its moderate sillage and versatile note profile make it suitable for a range of occasions, from office to casual. The fresh, clean character prevents it from being too heavy for daytime wear, while the subtle depth adds enough sophistication for evenings, though it's not a powerhouse for formal events.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

En Route opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot, apple, and juicy pineapple, given a lively kick by pink pepper. This vibrant start smoothly transitions into a sophisticated heart of rich leather and delicate jasmine, adding depth and a touch of elegance. The dry-down settles into an earthy, mossy base of patchouli and oakmoss, softened by the warm, lingering embrace of ambergris, creating a well-rounded and comforting finish.
