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.

Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, energetic, and marine profile makes it a great fit for casual wear and sport, where a clean and invigorating scent is welcome. While some found it intrusive for the office, its moderate sillage and aquatic nature allow it to blend in, though it's less suited for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a cold blast of bergamot and 'frozen' air hitting you, swiftly followed by a salty, marine breeze. It's a fresh, bracing start that evolves into an aromatic heart of sage, before settling on a robust, earthy oak base. A cool, aquatic journey from start to finish.
