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.

About

Opens with an immediate hit of bright, juicy citrus from bergamot, grapefruit, and orange, settling quickly into a warm, slightly spicy heart of jasmine, orange blossom, and pink pepper. The drydown is all about grounded sophistication, with a blend of earthy vetiver, creamy sandalwood, damp patchouli, and classic oakmoss, rounded out by a touch of musk and amber. It's woody and fresh, with a clean barbershop edge.
