Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
Explorer shines in spring and fall, where its crisp bergamot, aromatic vetiver, and woody backbone feel lively yet grounded. While fresh enough for summer, the leathery and earthy undertones give it the most character in cooler, transitional weather.
Best Occasions
Its moderate projection, clean freshness, and balanced woody-spicy character make it ideal for daily wear at the office and smart-casual outings. The understated leather and patchouli give it refinement for dates, but it is less suited to sporty or high-formality events.
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.

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
