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:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its weak longevity and intimate sillage make it ideal for office wear, as it won't offend anyone. The fresh, casual nature of the citrus notes makes it perfect for everyday wear and even a good gym scent, but its fleeting presence isn't right for dates or formal events.

About

Opens with a zesty, bright blast of citron and mandarin, leaning sharp and effervescent rather than sweet. This vibrant citrus heart is quickly grounded by a dry, aromatic cedar, providing a woody counterpoint that prevents it from becoming a mere cleaning product. The scent remains linear, a crisp and invigorating citrus-wood blend from start to finish.
