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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:

Its fresh, light citrus profile makes it ideal for casual wear, especially in hot weather, and excellent for sport. However, its weak performance and one-dimensional nature make it less suitable for formal events or romantic dates where a more complex and projecting scent is desired.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • 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 peeling a juicy blood orange under a warm sun. The initial burst is all zesty citrus and a whisper of sharp bergamot, with pink pepper adding an unexpected, lively kick. As it settles, a clean, slightly green freshness emerges from the mint and petitgrain, keeping things bright and airy. The dry down is a subtle, musky sweetness, courtesy of tonka bean and musk, barely there but grounding the vibrant top notes.
