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:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for office wear without being overpowering. The warm, spicy profile lends itself well to casual and date settings, but it's a bit too relaxed for formal events and lacks the freshness for sport.

About

Activist opens with a bright, zesty burst of citrus that quickly settles into a rich, complex heart of warm spices. As it develops, a comforting blend of earthy woods emerges, underpinned by a soft, amber sweetness and a hint of fresh green grass, creating a uniquely balanced and inviting aroma.
