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.

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
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

212 Men on Ice opens with a crisp, invigorating burst of citrus, dominated by bright bergamot and tangy grapefruit, instantly conjuring an icy freshness. As it settles, a clean, subtly spicy heart of ginger, nutmeg, and cardamom emerges, warmed gently by a touch of gardenia. The base is a straightforward, clean musk, offering a soft landing that maintains the overall fresh and uplifting character throughout its wear. It's a scent that's all about an immediate, clean impact.
