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

Aqua de Classic kicks off with a zesty, bright blast of bergamot, tangerine, and neroli, creating an immediate fresh and uplifting feel. This sharp citrus then mellows, giving way to a heart of cool sea water infused with aromatic rosemary and a touch of delicate jasmine. The dry down settles into a clean musk and earthy patchouli, grounded by a subtle cedar that keeps it firmly masculine and grounded without losing that initial sparkle.
