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

Quiksilver opens with a bracing blast of bitter orange and grapefruit, sharp and invigorating like a sea breeze. As it settles, the unique saltiness and refreshing eucalyptus emerge, blending seamlessly with the aquatic notes. The drydown reveals a surprisingly smooth and woody sandalwood, rounded out by a clean musk, creating a scent that's both vibrant and comforting.
