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

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate performance and fresh, woody profile make it ideal for daily casual wear, including the office, where it won't overwhelm. While versatile, it lacks the boldness for formal events and isn't typically seen as a 'date night' fragrance by the community.
