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

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its very weak longevity means it won't overwhelm, making it perfect for office or casual wear. The fresh, green profile is ideal for daytime activities, though its subtle nature means it's less suited for formal events or dates where you want to make a statement.

About

The row gives four notes for this 2004 scent, with no split by stage: green notes, lemon, lily and spicy notes. Green notes and lemon give a crisp, fresh and zesty feel, while lily adds a soft floral touch. The spicy notes add a small warm edge. With such a short list, it is a light, simple and fresh scent.
