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
Also Works:
Date Formal

With its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature, this scent is ideal for office wear, being present but not overpowering. While versatile enough for casual and date settings, its refined character might be slightly too understated for formal events, and it's definitely not suited for sport.

About

Opens with a bright, crisp bergamot and a touch of neroli, quickly giving way to the star: a multifaceted vetiver. This isn't your usual dry, austere vetiver; it's verdant and subtly earthy, enriched by the unexpected sweetness and rooty texture of carrot seeds. A soft, powdery iris emerges in the drydown, lending a clean, almost creamy finish that lingers beautifully.
