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.

Its long-lasting, moderate sillage makes it suitable for various settings without being overwhelming. The fresh and versatile profile, with mentions of it being good for the gym and everyday wear, supports its high scores for casual and sport use, while its 'blue' character limits its formality.

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

About

Explorer Infinite kicks off with a bright, zingy burst of bergamot and the dark, juicy sweetness of blackcurrant. As it settles, a clean, earthy patchouli emerges, anchoring the initial freshness. The drydown reveals a prominent, clean musk, giving it a modern, slightly 'blue' character that lingers, sometimes controversially.
