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

Ambush Cologne opens with a crowded fruit and herb mix of papaya, sage, lemon, lavender, bergamot and kiwi. The heart goes floral and tropical, with passionfruit, geranium, carnation and rose. The base is sweet and creamy, built from praline, sandalwood, vanilla, tonka bean and heliotrope. It is a fruity floral with a gourmand finish, bright at the start and warm and sugary at the end.
