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.

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.

About

Opening with a zesty burst of lemon and clean cedar, Ted quickly settles into a spicy heart. Warm cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are expertly balanced by a surprising hint of caraway and bright lime. The base mellows into a smooth, comforting blend of amber, creamy vanilla, and tonka bean, underscored by a clean musk that provides a soft, elegant finish. It's a journey from fresh zest to spicy warmth, maintaining a subtle sweetness throughout.
