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 Summer Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh and aquatic nature makes it versatile for casual wear and sports, while still being appealing for dates. However, its generally strong projection and casual leanings mean it's less suited for formal events or a quiet office setting.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bay laurel Laurus Nobilis Leaf Oil from Bay Leaf

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

Kicking off with a zesty burst of grapefruit and mandarin, it quickly plunges into a marine freshness that evokes salty sea air. The heart reveals a touch of aromatic bay leaf and delicate jasmine before settling into a warm, earthy base of patchouli, guaiac wood, and ambergris. It's a clean, aquatic-woody scent, with a hint of spicy greenness.
