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

An effervescent blast of tropical fruit opens The Boy, with bright guava and passionfruit leading the charge alongside a zesty lemon iced tea accord. As it settles, subtle florals like rose and iris emerge, softened by a clean musk. The dry down introduces a woody depth with cedar and vetiver, underpinned by a hint of earthy tobacco and moss, completing a journey from poolside refreshment to a sophisticated, warm embrace.
