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

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with a fresh and clean profile, make it suitable for casual day wear and light activity. It's generally considered too subtle for formal events or impactful date nights, but works well for the office if applied lightly.

About

Opens with a crisp, juicy red apple and cool cucumber, delivering an instantly fresh and clean burst. As it settles, aromatic lavender and herbaceous sage emerge, offering a gentle green heart. The dry down is a soft, understated blend of woody notes and clean musk, maintaining that refreshing character throughout.
