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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

L'Aventurier kicks off with a zesty burst of lemon, softened by a subtle hint of pink pepper, giving it an invigorating, clean opening. As it settles, a warm, earthy heart of amber and patchouli emerges, grounding the bright citrus. The dry-down reveals a sophisticated blend of leather and vetiver, intertwined with a gentle musk, offering a smooth, refined finish that's both masculine and comforting.
