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.

Date

Its fresh, aquatic nature and budget price point make it ideal for casual wear, especially in warmer weather, and a good gym scent. While generally light, some users report surprisingly good longevity, which might make it slightly too noticeable for a very quiet office setting but good enough for a casual date.

About

Festival Vibes opens with a vibrant splash of salty sea water and juicy pineapple, instantly transporting you to sun-drenched shores. As it settles, green and woody notes emerge, grounded by an aromatic hit of bay leaf, adding a touch of natural depth. The base sweetens things up with warm ambergris and creamy tonka bean, ensuring a smooth, inviting drydown that lingers beautifully.
