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.

About

This Eau de Toilette opens with cypress, pink pepper and bergamot, a crisp, green and slightly peppery start. The heart combines magnolia, lavender and jasmine, which adds a clean aromatic feel with a light floral touch. The base is where the scent gets its character: pine, cedar leaf, vetiver, oakmoss and cedar, dry, woody and mossy. Overall it is an aromatic woody fougere-style scent, fresh and masculine, and tidy rather than loud. It suits work and daytime wear.
