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:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for casual wear or the gym, but its poor longevity and projection mean it won't overwhelm an office environment, though you'll need regular top-ups. It lacks the gravitas for formal events and might not impress on a date due to its short lifespan.

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
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

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

Penthouse Ginza opens with a zesty, invigorating blast of grapefruit and bergamot, bright and undeniably fresh. Soon, a clean aromatic heart of lavender and bay leaf emerges, supported by a hint of delicate jasmine. The dry-down veers into an earthy, mossy territory with patchouli and oakmoss, softened by a touch of warm amber, creating a slightly more grounded finish.
