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.

Date Sport

Its moderate sillage and fresh, woody-aromatic character make it versatile for casual wear and suitable for the office. While reviewers note its 'warm weather' appeal, it lacks the gravitas for formal events, shining more in relaxed settings.

About

Opens with a lively burst of blackcurrant and grapefruit, sharpened by the distinctive tartness of rhubarb, creating an immediate fresh and fruity-green impression. As it mellows, hints of aromatic geranium and a whisper of cardamom emerge, leading to a grounding base of creamy sandalwood, soft musk, and warm cedary notes, all smoothed by a touch of tonka bean. It's a comforting blend of vibrant and woody.
