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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Fall

The bright citrus notes make it a great fit for spring, while the floral and woody accords lend themselves well to fall. Its fresh nature makes it less suitable for the heavy cold of winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its balanced projection and elegant floral and citrus profile make it suitable for office and date settings. Its sophistication is ideal for formal events but less so for sporty occasions.
