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

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its versatile and inoffensive nature, coupled with decent longevity for a freshie, makes it suitable for office wear and casual outings. The sophisticated depth from woody and amber accords also lends itself well to dates or semi-formal events, though its fresh character might be too casual for very formal 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

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

A zesty riot of lime, citron, and bergamot spears through the air, quickly met by the sharp, invigorating snap of pepper and the resinous hum of elemi. The heart introduces a cool cypress and a whisper of jasmine, before settling into a deep, earthy drydown of vetiver, warm amber, and a subtle, smoky swirl of incense.
