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

Opens with a zesty pop of mandarin and a hint of peppery spice, lifted by the clean, aromatic bite of juniper. As it settles, a refined bouquet of floral notes emerges, expertly woven into a warm, woody heart of cedar and a unique akigalawood. The dry-down leaves a sophisticated, amber-kissed trail that's both comforting and distinctly masculine.
