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.

Many reviews highlight its perfect fit for summer days and casual outings, suggesting it's not quite right for formal events or intimate dates.

About

Opening with a vibrant burst of bergamot and sharp lime, this scent immediately invigorates, enhanced by the green, slightly bitter nuances of petitgrain. The heart introduces a cool, almost mojito-like blend of mint and wormwood, softened by a delicate lily of the valley. It settles into an earthy, sophisticated base of vetiver, patchouli, and moss, anchoring the lively top notes with a timeless chypre foundation.
