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:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its soft sillage and pleasant, inoffensive character make it suitable for office wear and casual outings. While nice for a casual date, its lack of projection and formal weight mean it's not ideal for formal events or sports.

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.

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

Opens with a bright burst of juicy apple and tart lemon, hinting at a fresh, sweet fruitiness. This soon mellows into a warm, inviting heart of cinnamon and rich mahogany, providing a comforting, spicy embrace. The journey concludes with a smooth, creamy vanilla and earthy vetiver, softened by subtle woody undertones from sandalwood and cedar, leaving a polished, gentle trail.
