The Essence Vault Red - 831 is an Eau de Parfum. Red - 831 opens with Pine and Apple, settles into a heart of Cedar and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, and Patchouli. The Essence Vault's Red - 831 carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

No. 831 delivers a crisp green-apple-and-pine opening into a clean cedarwood-patchouli-vetiver base, a sporty woody-fresh profile that reads generic rather than a confident match to a single identifiable original.

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.

About

No. 831 opens with a bright, juicy green apple accord layered over fresh pine, moving into a clean cedarwood and jasmine heart before settling on a grounded patchouli, vetiver and white musk base. It's an energetic, sporty composition built for active days and casual wear, with the kind of crisp green-and-woody structure that recalls a broad category of masculine sport fragrances from the 1990s and 2000s rather than one specific, confidently identifiable designer scent. Performance is solid for a couple of hours before softening into a quiet, clean musk. As a standalone, it works well as an easy, fresh everyday signature for anyone who wants that classic green-apple-and-cedar sportiness without needing it to be a precise stand-in for a particular original.
