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:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean and invigorating profile makes it ideal for casual wear, office and sport, particularly in warmer months. However, its often-reported poor longevity and moderate sillage mean it lacks the gravitas for formal events or the lasting power for an evening date.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Imagine slicing into a juicy, zesty Calabrian bergamot, its bright, sparkling aroma instantly uplifting. That vibrant citrus opening is quickly joined by the green, slightly bitter whisper of petitgrain, leading into a heart where a soft, warm spice emerges. Ginger brings a gentle, invigorating kick, while cardamom adds an aromatic, almost creamy sweetness that rounds out the initial sharpness. As it settles, a clean, understated musk blends with subtle woody undertones, grounding the scent and leaving a soft, natural trail.
