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

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

The juicy citrus and fruity opening makes it ideal for spring and early summer, while the woody, mossy drydown adds enough depth for fall. It can be worn in winter, though it may lack the heft for cold nights.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal Sport

Its mass-appealing, fresh and fruity character makes it perfect for casual, office, date, and gym wear. Projection is moderate and not cloying, so it's safe for most settings. Less suitable for highly formal occasions.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Perfumer's Choice No.9 Victor opens with a crisp, juicy alliance of bergamot, pineapple, and apple, creating a bright and mouthwatering first impression. Blackcurrant brings a tangy edge before the scent mellows into a heart of airy jasmine, rose, and a hint of birch's smoky woodiness. The drydown is subtly mossy and musky, with vanilla and amber lending smoothness while oakmoss grounds the composition. The overall effect is invigorating yet rounded, with an approachable, modern masculinity that works from gym bag to casual date with effortless charm.
