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 summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its intimate sillage and clean, refreshing profile make it perfect for casual wear, office environments, and even light activity. It's too subtle and lacks the gravitas for formal events or a memorable date night, excelling instead as a daily fresh pick-me-up.

About

Opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of bergamot and lime, quickly joined by the herbaceous sharpness of verbena and artemisia. As it settles, subtle hints of lavender and rosemary emerge, lending a classic, clean barbershop feel. The base is a whisper of oak and musk, creating a gentle, airy finish that’s more about freshness than a deep, earthy vetiver.
