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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, energetic opening and marine heart make it great for casual outings and even sport, but the bold spice and musky depth might be a bit much for a formal setting or a very conservative office environment. It could work for a relaxed date night given its unique character.

About

Opens with a zesty blast of lime spiked by a sharp, invigorating pepper. As it settles, a cool, salty marine breeze rolls in, intertwined with a clean, slightly animalic musk and the subtle, elusive shimmer of ambergris. The drydown smooths out with a creamy vanilla, grounding the vibrant top and heart notes with a soft, woody embrace.
