Scent Profile

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.

Its fresh, clean, and broadly appealing scent profile makes it excellent for casual wear or the office, as many reviews suggest. While it performs well for a 'blue' scent, its inherent casualness and freshness mean it's less suited for formal events or intimate dates.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli

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

Opens with a lively splash of grapefruit, lemon, and bitter orange, zesty and invigorating. As the initial citrus calms, a bracing sea accord emerges, intertwined with herbaceous cypress and bright neroli, conjuring images of a cool ocean breeze. The base settles into a sophisticated blend of earthy oakmoss, salty ambergris, and a touch of warm, resinous benzoin, providing a smooth finish that adds depth without losing its fresh character.
