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

Arbo Ocean opens with a zesty burst of lemon and a unique grape note, softened by leafy violet. The heart reveals an aromatic blend of lavender and herbal rosemary, evoking a cool, fresh cleanliness. It settles into a comfortable base of smooth musk, warm amber, and a subtle hint of vanilla, leaving a light, inviting trail.
