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.

About

Hilfiger Est. 1985 opens with a vibrant, tropical blast of papaya, grapefruit, and mandarin, brightened by a hint of aromatic rosemary. As it settles, a sophisticated heart emerges with soft leather, warm mahogany, and a touch of subtle rose, spiced by turmeric. The dry-down reveals a smooth, comforting base of suede, cashmere wood, and sandalwood, rounded out by a creamy tonka bean.
