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.

Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate sillage and clean, fresh profile make it perfect for office or casual wear without being overwhelming. While reviewers noted it's "not strong" and could have better longevity, its refined character still suits dates and less formal occasions, though its projection issues may limit its impact.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

It opens with a zesty, bright burst of bergamot and mandarin, quickly tempered by a subtle hint of pink pepper's fresh spice. The heart unfolds into a smooth, comforting black tea accord, complemented by the airy, green depth of mate. This settles into a clean, woody base of cedar, creating a refined and serenely green aromatic experience.
