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.

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

The row lists only three notes for this scent, with no split between top, heart and base: bergamot, vetiver and woody notes. That keeps the picture simple. Bergamot brings a bright citrus lift, vetiver adds a dry, earthy and slightly smoky green depth, and the woody notes give it a steady backbone. It is a fresh, clean masculine scent with a very simple structure.
