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

Opening with a zesty burst of bergamot and sharp petitgrain, this scent quickly softens into a clean, bright neroli heart. The subtle violet and rosemary notes add a sophisticated, almost herbal twist before a curious bubblegum accord emerges, lending a sweet, powdery, and slightly mischievous edge. It's a fresh cologne with a playful wink.
