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 longevity and sillage make it versatile, suitable for casual wear or even the office where it won't overpower. The fresh, clean citrus notes lend themselves well to daytime and sport activities, though some find it too sharp for intimate evening settings.

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

  • Limonene from Orange
  • 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

Don't let the 'sporty' in the name fool you. This opens with a punchy, zesty blend of mandarin and orange, swiftly followed by the soft, honeyed floral of orange blossom. The whole affair settles into a clean, musky dry-down, which adds an unexpected warmth and depth that belies its initial fresh burst.
