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

It starts with a sharp lift of pink pepper, lavender, petitgrain and juniper, green and slightly peppery. The heart turns softer and cleaner with bamboo, geranium and orange blossom. The base of teak, vetiver and amber adds dry woody depth and a little warmth. This is a fresh aromatic woody scent, neat and outdoorsy, that sits comfortably in a casual or office setting.
