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 moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and uplifting citrus-mint profile, make it suitable for casual wear and even office use, particularly in warmer weather. While some find it office-appropriate, its initial strong projection might be too much for some formal settings.

About

Opens with a vibrant, invigorating hit of lemon and mandarin, zesty and bright. This soon settles into a cooling heart of fresh mint and aromatic lavender, providing a clean, almost herbal freshness. The drydown reveals a surprisingly creamy and soft sandalwood, offering a sophisticated warmth that belies its initial energetic burst. It feels classic yet remarkably wearable.
