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 fresh and aromatic profile, coupled with moderate performance, makes it ideal for office and casual wear without being overwhelming. While it's generally a safe and pleasant scent, it lacks the bolder presence for formal events and might be too subtle for a standout date night.

About

No. 2 Men kicks off with a lively burst of fresh bergamot and aromatic lavender, instantly bringing a clean, energetic vibe. As it settles, a spicy heart of ginger and cardamom emerges, adding a subtle warmth and zing. The dry-down reveals a smooth, woody base of vetiver and sandalwood, softened by musk and a hint of smoky incense, leaving a balanced, refined trail. It's a fresh, spicy, modern composition that manages to feel both familiar and distinct.
