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.

Its moderate sillage and unique character make it acceptable for casual wear, where its unusual profile can shine. For office or formal settings, it might be too polarising, but it's great for refreshing hot weather, as some reviews suggest.

About

Imagine stepping into a glacial landscape where an initial blast of medicinal absinthe and sharp green notes cuts through the air, creating an immediate, bracing chill. This cold opening gradually settles into a creamy, almost soapy core, where a smooth, earthy vetiver takes centre stage, hinting at a frozen forest floor. Subtle floral notes provide a delicate balance to the strong green and absinthe accords, softening the edges of this strikingly cold and abstract composition.
