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 sharp, zesty burst of lime, immediate and invigorating, kicking you awake. This citrus brightness soon meets the grounding, slightly green depth of cedar, giving it a sturdy backbone. Geranium adds a touch of fresh, peppery floral-aromatic lift, preventing it from leaning too dry or woody. It’s a clean and straightforward scent, blending vibrant citrus with earthy wood and a hint of fresh spice for an energetic yet grounded feel.
