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.

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:

Its fresh, clean, and moderate performance makes it excellent for casual wear, office settings (with light application), and sport. While pleasant, its bright and summery character isn't ideal for formal events or intimate dates where something more refined or sensual might be preferred.

About

Imagine a burst of bright lime, bergamot, and mandarin, immediately invigorating your senses. This citrus opening mellows into a delicate heart of lily and jasmine, softened by the juicy sweetness of peach and pineapple. A subtle, clean base of Virginia cedarwood and musk provides a gentle anchor, keeping the whole composition light and airy.
