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:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and clean profile, make it suitable for casual wear and sports. It's too light for formal events and might not leave a strong enough impression for a date, but its unobtrusive nature makes it fine for an office setting.

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

  • Eugenol from Nutmeg
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

Opening with a zesty burst of grapefruit, bergamot, and mandarin, Body Like a Man immediately delivers a clean, invigorating freshness. As it settles, a soft, spicy warmth emerges with nutmeg and a hint of incense, balanced by the earthy depth of oakmoss. The dry down leaves a subtle trail of peppery rosewood, adding a gentle woody undertone to the lingering fresh notes.
