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

The green, fruity, and lactonic character makes Debaser ideal for spring and summer, evoking fresh fig leaves, juicy fruit, and creamy coconut milk. Its vibrancy works in fall but lacks the weight for true winter wear.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its moderate projection and breezy, natural feel make Debaser a safe and creative choice for daily wear, office, and dates, but its laid-back style is too informal for strict formal or athletic settings.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

Debaser opens with a rush of green stems, crisp bergamot, and juicy pear, quickly unveiling a sun-drenched fig heart swirled with creamy coconut milk and a whisper of iris. The drydown is woody yet airy, blending blond woods, moss, and a subtle sweet tonka, all buoyed by a gentle lactonic milkiness. Effortlessly fresh and modern, it's a vivid snapshot of late-summer afternoons, indie records playing, and golden light filtering through fig leaves.
