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.

Best For:

Its fresh, clean aquatic profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear, office and gym, as highlighted by many reviewers. Given its generally perceived weak sillage and moderate longevity, it's less ideal for dates or formal events where a more impactful presence is 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

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Imagine the crisp bite of a green apple, instantly followed by the clean, refreshing sensation of a summer rain. It evolves into a deeper aquatic feel, anchored by earthy oakmoss and soft musk, with a hint of warm amber giving it a touch of gentle comfort. It's a journey from zesty freshness to a calm, grounded finish.
