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:

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its strong performance and clean, fresh profile make it versatile for casual wear and daily use, even for sport, but it might be too prominent for a formal setting. The musky and floral accords, while pleasant, could be a bit much for a very confined office environment.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • 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

Credible opens with a fresh, slightly green citrus burst, quickly settling into a prominent musky heart with soft floral accents. A hint of powdery sweetness rounds it out, preventing it from veering too sharp. The lingering base features a subtle woody depth, underpinned by a smooth balsam note that, while initially a bit 'off' to some, mellows to a pleasant, almost hand-cream like finish.
