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:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, green, and woody profile makes it superb for casual wear and daily use, though its lighter projection limits its impact for dates or formal events. The invigorating vibe also suits light activity, but the subtle sillage means it won't overwhelm an office if applied lightly.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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 a stroll through a Mediterranean forest after a summer rain. This fragrance opens with an invigorating splash of rainwater, uplifted by zesty bergamot and lemon. The journey deepens into an aromatic heart of fresh basil, elegant jasmine, and invigorating eucalyptus before settling into a robust, resinous base of cedar, cypress, pine, and fir, evoking the crisp, green scent of conifer trees.
