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 intimate sillage and short longevity make it suitable for casual wear or sports where a subtle scent is preferred. It's too understated and generic for formal events or a date, and won't offend in an office setting due to its mild projection.

About

Opening with a sharp, peppery kick of chili and bright bergamot, this fragrance quickly settles into a more aromatic heart of clean Virginia cedarwood and herbaceous clary sage. The dry down is a soft, sweet blend of amber and sandalwood, underpinned by a clean musk that lingers close to the skin.
