This is a truly divisive scent. Some find it a unique, edgy take on fresh and clean, while others smell a metallic, sour cleaning product. Definitely try before you buy to see if it's a love or a scrubber.

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.

Its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature mean it won't overwhelm, making it versatile. The fresh, clean, and slightly unusual profile makes it suitable for casual wear and dates, but perhaps too edgy for very formal settings.

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.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Matrix Metal opens with an intriguing, cool metallic note, sharpened by the spicy warmth of cardamom and nutmeg. This unconventional start transitions into a heart of delicate white tea and a watery, almost floral cyclamen, grounded by earthy vetiver. The dry down settles into a clean, smooth base of creamy sandalwood and robust sequoia, all softened by a clean musk that lingers with surprising tenacity.
