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

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with a clean and fresh profile, make it suitable for casual wear and the office, where it won't overpower. The subtle nature means it's less ideal for dates or formal events where a bolder statement might be preferred.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

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
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Imagine a serene morning by a still lake, sun barely touching the water. It opens with a bright, zesty burst of lemon and bergamot, clean and invigorating. This soon melds into a nuanced heart of herbal rosemary, bringing a cool, aromatic greenness, softened by the delicate, powdery touch of violet. The composition settles into a gentle, fluffy musk, with hints of sweet orange blossom, creating a tranquil and subtly complex skin scent.
