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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Midnight Marine opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot, lemon, and grapefruit, sharpened by a playful hint of pink pepper and refreshing mint. As it settles, a clean musk emerges, blended with the earthy robustness of cedar. The dry down introduces a modern ambroxan hum and a surprisingly prominent, almost smoky incense note that adds depth.
