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.

Its moderate sillage and 'clean' patchouli make it suitable for office and casual wear, as it's unlikely to overpower. While not a typical formal scent, its refined character could work for less strict events, and it's definitely not one for the gym.

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.

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • 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

Opens with a bright, citrusy zing from bitter orange and petitgrain, spiced up with a hint of ginger. This quickly mellows into a heart where a soft, earthy patchouli takes centre stage, beautifully complemented by a subtle rose and a touch of caraway. The dry down is a cosy blend of creamy tonka bean, warm cedar, and a gentle musk, creating a smooth, long-lasting finish.
