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.

Its sophisticated woody-rose and leather accords make it excellent for formal and office settings where a more reserved, classy scent is preferred. The limited sillage cited by reviewers means it won't overwhelm, making it less suitable for casual or sport activities.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

Opening with a crisp flourish of geranium and lavender, this scent quickly deepens into a sophisticated heart of rich rose and dry cedar, invoking a sense of quiet elegance. As it develops, a refined leather accord emerges, subtly blending with deep woody notes to create a polished and enduring masculinity. This is a scent that whispers rather than shouts, combining floral delicacy with a grounded, earthy core.
