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:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh yet deep profile makes it highly versatile for casual and date wear, appreciated for day-to-night transitions. While some note good longevity and projection, it's generally considered inoffensive enough for the office, but its unique spicy notes might be too bold for formal events.

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

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 zesty, invigorating burst of lime and ginger, quickly giving way to a heart of piquant coriander and exotic elemi, which introduces an almost incense-like, resinous warmth. The base settles into a sophisticated blend of earthy vetiver, dry cedar, and rich labdanum, sweetened ever so slightly by tonka bean, leaving a fresh yet mysteriously sensual trail.
