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.

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

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Aqua Mat Homme opens with an invigorating burst of pomelo and lime, instantly refreshing and bright. Soon, the distinctive green, slightly milky nuance of fig leaf emerges, grounding the citrus with an earthy sweetness. As it settles, the scent softens into a serene heart of delicate magnolia and crisp bamboo, leading to a subtle, clean base of musk and creamy sandalwood. It's a fresh, airy composition that feels effortless and natural.
