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
Also Works:
Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate projection and clean, fresh profile make it ideal for office and casual wear without being intrusive. While versatile enough for dates, its lack of strong sillage makes it less impactful for formal events. The energising citrus and mint notes lend themselves well to active scenarios like sports.

About

Opens with a brisk, zesty burst of lemon, invigorated by a cool mint and a sharp, spicy kick of ginger. The initial brightness mellows into a heart of aromatic vetiver and subtle nutmeg, spiced up with a hint of pink pepper. The base grounds the composition with warm cedar and creamy sandalwood, softened by a wispy, clean incense trail. It's clean, woody, and unmistakably fresh.
