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.

About

This scent opens with a big citrus and herb burst of grapefruit, bergamot, lemon, neroli, mandarin, basil and mint. The heart brings gardenia alongside nutmeg, coriander, ginger and cardamom, giving the freshness a spicy backbone. The base is musk, sandalwood, labdanum and incense, which add a smooth, slightly resinous finish. Overall it is a cool, energetic fresh scent for men, with spice and wood keeping it from feeling too simple.
