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
Also Works:
Fall

Avalon's fresh citrus, aromatic herbs, and aquatic seaweed make it ideal for spring and summer, offering a crisp, invigorating character that fits warm weather. Its woody and musky base adds some versatility for early fall, but its lightness makes it less suited to winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Avalon is a versatile fresh woody scent with moderate projection, making it perfect for office and casual daywear. Its understated, clean profile is uplifting but not overly formal or bold, so it works for dates or relaxed settings but less so for very formal occasions.

About

Avalon opens with an exhilarating burst of lemon verbena and lime, instantly evoking coastal freshness, then reveals a unique aquatic twist with seaweed. The heart introduces a subtle oriental lift from ginger, cardamom, and tarragon, keeping the scent crisp and aromatic. Its base of birch, lavender, and soft musk grounds the fragrance in dry woods, carrying a lingering, refined freshness. The result is a light yet persistent composition, airy but never bland, sophisticated and modern in its understated masculinity.
