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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

The airy white florals and juicy citrus make this fragrance especially suited to spring and summer, while its subtle sweetness allows some versatility into early fall. The light, fresh character is too delicate for most winter wear.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

With its understated sillage and clean floral freshness, this scent excels for office and daytime settings, as well as casual or date situations. It's a bit too gentle and subtle for formal events or active sports.

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.
