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
Also Works:
Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it somewhat versatile, but its highly distinctive, polarising scent profile means it's best reserved for casual wear where its quirks can be appreciated, rather than formal or professional settings. Many reviewers mention wearing it for themselves or on weekends.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

This is a floral musk trip with a famously challenging opening. Expect a blast of indolic lilac, often described as 'pissy' or 'vegetal', that quickly mellows into a powdery, clean floral heart. Hints of green notes and a distinct animalic musk underpin the composition, creating an antiquated yet compelling barbershop aroma that lingers as a soft, unique floral musk.
