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.

Often cited as a 'gym safe' and 'daily driver', its fresh and aromatic character, combined with moderate projection, makes it ideal for casual and office wear. While some reviewers report great longevity, the general consensus on its performance means it's less suited for formal events where a more impactful scent is often desired.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

Inspired by Mediterranean freshness, Wave bursts open with a bright citrus and marine accord, evoking sea spray and sunshine. This invigorating start mellows into an aromatic heart of lavender, clary sage, and rosemary, adding a clean, herbaceous touch. The drydown reveals a surprisingly creamy base of vanilla orchid, vetiver, patchouli, and oakmoss, grounding the fragrance with a subtle, sophisticated warmth.
