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.

About

This eau de toilette starts with bergamot, rhubarb and ginger, a sharp, tart and slightly spicy opening. The heart of lavender, nutmeg and pepper gives it a classic aromatic, barbershop feel. The base is where the name comes in, with a metallic note alongside leather and musk, which makes it cool, dry and a little hard-edged. It is a masculine scent that stays clean and direct.
