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.

About

Aqua Extreme kicks off with a fresh, invigorating splash of bergamot and lemon verbena, quickly mellowing into a clean, aromatic heart. Blue lavender and geranium provide a smooth, somewhat soapy quality, rounded out by the subtle, slightly masculine edge of juniper. As it settles, a gentle woody base emerges, with a hint of tobacco and labdanum adding a touch of understated depth, preventing it from being just another generic 'blue' scent.
