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

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office
Also Works:
Date Casual Formal

Its aromatic and fresh spicy profile with a traditional fougere base makes it suitable for most settings. It's refined enough for office wear but might be a bit too classic for a casual date, leaning more towards a mature, put-together impression.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Opens with a zesty, green splash of bergamot and galbanum, brightened by a hint of marigold. The heart unveils a clean lavender and geranium, grounded by robust cedar and a touch of jasmine. It dries down to a rich, earthy base of oakmoss, warm amber, and a subtle animalic depth from castoreum, with creamy sandalwood smoothing things over.
