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 generally subtle and fresh character makes it ideal for casual wear, including working out, and it's light enough for the office. However, its 'hair perfume' designation and often fleeting performance make it less suitable for formal events where a more impactful fragrance is typically desired.

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

It kicks off with a bright, zesty hit of kumquat and lemon, immediately followed by an unusual briny saltiness that evokes a day by the sea. The floral whisper of orchid adds a touch of softness before settling into a warm, modern amber, grounded by dry driftwood. It's a clean, subtly sweet aquatic amber that feels effortless and inviting, avoiding any heavy, resinous cliches.
