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.

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

Opens with a brisk, clean hit of lavender, mint, and bergamot - classic and refreshing. This quickly warms up as spicy caraway and a hint of orange blossom weave through, adding a pleasing complexity without ever becoming overwhelming. The base settles into a comfortable, smooth blend of sandalwood, cedar, tonka bean, and vanilla, offering a classic, aromatic masculine dry-down that's both familiar and inviting. It's a well-rounded composition, leaning into traditional fougère territory with a refined touch.
