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 Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its clean, inoffensive, yet sophisticated aroma makes it ideal for office and casual wear. While it's versatile enough for a date or more formal setting, its moderate projection means it won't overwhelm, making it slightly less impactful for those occasions. Many reviewers noted its suitability for the gym due to its freshness.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli

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

Imagine a refined Italian barbershop, brimming with citrus and lavender, then rounded out with a subtle, smoky depth. Zesty bergamot and neroli meet the herbal sophistication of lavender and sage, before settling into a warm bed of cedar, tonka, and a surprisingly gentle trace of tobacco. It’s fresh-out-the-shower clean with a grown-up twist.
