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.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

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

Wild Surf opens with a vibrant, spicy burst of lime and orange, avoiding any hint of sickly sweetness. As it settles, a sophisticated bouquet of honeysuckle and jasmine emerges, expertly balanced with the herbaceous lift of basil and an unexpected kick of pepper. The dry down introduces a distinguished oakmoss and a touch of warm amber, grounding the experience in a subtle, lasting sensuality.
