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.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

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 wandering through a sun-drenched, ancient forest, salt in the air. This starts with a sparkling burst of citrus, vivid orange and lemon, swiftly joined by the aromatic, slightly balsamic touch of elemi. The heart introduces a surprising spicy warmth with pepper and pink pepper, grounded by a sophisticated amber. As it settles, a dry, earthy blend of vetiver and oakmoss emerges, sweetened by fir resin and sturdy cedar, evoking a natural, almost rugged elegance.
