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.

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.

About

Exuberant Geranium kicks off with a vibrant, almost vintage green burst of geranium and galbanum, quickly softened by a dry, sophisticated leather. Aromatic basil and a hint of fresh, peppery spice from cumin and pink pepper add complexity, before settling into a warm, woody base of cedar and the amber-like glow of Ambrofix. It's an evolving scent, starting bright before deepening into a refined, almost brooding character.
