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 longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and clean profile, make it suitable for a variety of daytime occasions. It's particularly good for casual wear and can work well in an office setting due to its non-offensive nature, but might be a bit too casual for very formal events.

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.

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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

Antartic opens with a crisp, invigorating burst of lime and grapefruit, immediately conjuring a cool, icy freshness. Juniper and mint lend a bracing, aromatic edge, while a subtle hint of thyme adds an intriguing herbal complexity. As it settles, the fragrance warms slightly with a touch of nutmeg, leading into a smooth, clean base of amber and sandalwood. This creates a balanced aroma that's both fresh and grounded.
