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:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its intimate sillage and weak longevity make it suitable for close-quarters like the office or sport, where it won't overpower. The fresh, casual notes are perfect for daily wear, though its lack of projection limits its use for formal events or dates.

About

Opens with a cool, zesty hit of iced lemon and verdant green notes, immediately conjuring bright summer mornings. As it settles, the fruitiness deepens with a creamy, almost jammy fig, balanced by an earthy, aromatic sage. A subtle dew drop accord keeps it fresh and airy, leading to a soft, close-to-skin drydown that whispers 'beach day' without any coconut cliches.
