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.

About

Opening with a bright burst of bergamot and lemon verbena, lifted by classic lavender, this scent immediately feels familiar and fresh. The heart introduces a herbaceous blend of geranium, juniper, and rosemary, adding a clean, slightly green masculinity. It settles into a warm, earthy base of amber, sandalwood, and oakmoss, maintaining a soft, soapy freshness throughout its wear.
