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.

About

Regatta opens with a bright citrus mix of orange, mandarin and bergamot, with cardamom adding a light spice. The heart turns cool and marine, as sea water and mint bring a crisp, watery freshness, while marigold and clary sage add a little herbal depth. The base is simple, with woody notes and musk giving a clean, dry finish. It is an energetic aquatic-citrus scent, fresh and easy for warm days.
