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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its marine and fresh spicy accords make it ideal for casual wear, particularly in warm weather, as many reviewers noted. While some found it office-appropriate due to its clean nature, others found its strong projection and synthetic drydown too overwhelming for close quarters, lowering its office and formal scores.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Hydra Figue opens with a bracing blast of salty marine air, spiked with zesty bergamot and a hint of exotic ginger and anise. The heart reveals a creamy, slightly green fig and a subtle floralcy from tuberose, all whilst maintaining a pronounced oceanic saltiness. It dries down to a musky, woody base of oak and sandalwood, underpinned by a persistent ambroxan hum.
