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:
Fall

Its fresh spicy, alcoholic and aromatic composition leans towards spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its intense projection and boozy, animalic leanings make it less suitable for formal or office settings, though one reviewer noted its impressive longevity. This scent truly shines in casual evening outings or on a vibrant date night where making a statement is key.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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

Explodes with a sharp, fresh spicy hit of pepper and ginger, brightened by a zesty lime and an unexpected, juicy passionfruit twist. As it settles, it slides into a boozy heart of vodka and gin, laced with cool mint and more spice. The dry down is all about that bad-boy energy: rugged leather, warm woods, and a hint of amber, giving it a lasting, animalic edge.
