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
Also Works:
Summer Fall

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its clean, moderately projecting nature makes it a solid office choice, with many reviewers specifically endorsing it for professional settings. While versatile enough for casual wear, its lack of overt romance or gravitas makes it less ideal for dates or truly formal events. The fresh elements mean it can even work for light activity.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

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

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

It kicks off with a bracing citrus blast of lemon and bergamot, sharpened by a hint of cardamom. This zesty opening quickly gives way to a plush heart of violet, jasmine, and orange blossom, lending a clean, slightly powdery floralcy. The dry down is warm and earthy, with frankincense, sandalwood, and patchouli providing a grounding, almost balsamic finish.
