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.

About

This summer edition is listed with four notes: bergamot, mandarin, woody notes and amber. Bergamot and mandarin give a sparkling, zesty citrus opening that feels light and cooling. Woody notes provide a dry, clean structure underneath, and amber adds a touch of warmth to the finish. With so few notes listed it is a simple scent, fresh and easy to wear in warm weather.
