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.

It's ideal for casual or sporty events due to its freshness, but the sophisticated floral and spicy accords also elevate it for dates or even smart-casual office wear without being overpowering.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

Opens with an invigorating burst of sparkling bergamot, quickly transitioning to a heart of lush jasmine and delicate cyclamen, underpinned by a distinctive spicy warmth. A clean, woody cedar base emerges, softening the original's intensity into an almost soapy, musky drydown. It's unique, floral-driven, and unmistakably masculine.
