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

Crossmen Original kicks off with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and grapefruit, given a subtle tropical twist by pineapple. This lively opening soon settles into a warm, spicy heart where nutmeg and pepper add a gentle kick, rounded out by a hint of orange. The dry down is a comforting blend of cedar and sandalwood, softened by a touch of vanilla, leaving a clean, woody, and slightly soapy trail that feels both classic and effortlessly fresh.
