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.

Its exceptional longevity and significant projection mean it can be too much for an office, rating lower there. However, its fresh aquatic and woody profile makes it highly versatile for casual wear, dates, and even sports, as it holds up brilliantly in various conditions. Though some find it too strong for hot weather, many reviewers appreciate its year-round adaptability.

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.

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

Dive into a cool, salty marine opening, quickly spiced up with a kick of pink pepper. The heart unfurls with green, woody vetiver and sweet, luscious fig, reminiscent of a Mediterranean orchard by the sea. The base settles into a smooth, modern woody drydown of sandalwood and akigalawood, lending an earthy depth to the aquatic freshness. It's a complex, potent blend that evolves significantly on the skin.
