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 Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate projection and fresh yet earthy profile make it suitable for casual wear or an office environment where it won't overpower. While some find it feminine and others unisex, its unique character might be a bit too niche for a formal event, leaning more towards daytime and warmer weather as noted by reviewers.

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.

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

Opens with a zesty burst of mandarin and bergamot, surprisingly followed by a hay-like, almost bready warmth from the barley and bran. A soft, clean rose then unfurls, intertwined with an aromatic vetiver, all subtly sweetened by tonka bean and a hint of intriguing sesame. It’s a multifaceted journey, blending citrus, florals, and unusual gourmand nuances into a harmonious, often creamy drydown.
