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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for casual daytime wear, and many reviews highlight its fresh, light nature. While some find it too prominent, its generally inoffensive profile works for many everyday situations, including the office, but it lacks the gravitas for formal events.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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 bright, zesty burst of grapefruit and blackcurrant, given a subtle kick by ginger. This quickly transitions into the heart where crisp red apple dominates, softened by delicate lily of the valley and a hint of succulent plum. The dry down settles into a clean, slightly sweet musk with a touch of amber and smooth sandalwood, creating a pleasant, approachable finish.
