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.

Spring

Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile, but its distinctive, sharp character could be too much for a formal setting or an enclosed office. It excels in casual, outdoor, or springtime dating scenarios where its green, fresh intensity can shine.

About

DedCool's 05 Spring bursts forth with a keen, zesty hit of bergamot and lemon, underscored by the unique, slightly liquorice-like spice of star anise and earthy cedar. As it settles, a damp, green heart of geranium and a wisp of incense emerge, conjuring images of a vibrant, verdant forest. The dry down is firmly rooted in nature, with a rich blend of vetiver, mossy oakmoss, and a clean, fresh patchouli, culminating in a sophisticated, green, and slightly smoky finish.
