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

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and moderate nature makes it ideal for everyday wear, especially in office or casual settings. The subtle sweetness and classic appeal could work for a relaxed daytime date, but it lacks the boldness for formal events.

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
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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 a vibrant burst of grapefruit, lime, and bergamot, tangy and bright, then softened by a gentle, almost herbaceous heart. A hint of juicy pear adds a delicate sweetness before settling into a clean musk and creamy sandalwood base. It's a crisp, almost airy scent, evoking mountain breezes and wildflowers.
