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.

About

Fuel for Men kicks off with a surprising, almost petrol-like opening, a heady mix of juicy pineapple, sharp juniper, and bright citrus. As it settles, a sophisticated heart of soft florals, warm amber, creamy almond, and soothing lavender emerges, creating a smooth, inviting core. The journey concludes with a deep, earthy base of musky sandalwood and rich patchouli, leaving a lasting, quietly confident trail.
