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 Fall
Also Works:
Summer

The balance of floral and spicy notes lends itself well to transitional seasons like spring and fall, but it's versatile enough for year-round wear, with less suitability for the extreme warmth of summer or the harsh cold of winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate projection and balance of light spicy and floral accords suit everyday settings, casual outings, and the office without being overpowering.
