Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Best Occasions
Its fresh, aromatic nature makes it suitable for office and casual wear, providing an invigorating yet sophisticated aura without being overpowering. While some find its longevity lacking, others report it lasts well, allowing it to transition to a daytime date. It's too green and informal for traditional formal events.
