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.

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

Also Works:

Its fresh and aquatic notes make it ideal for casual and sport settings, especially in warm weather. While light, some might find the initial synthetic blast too much for a formal office, but it mellows nicely for everyday casual wear. It's not romantic enough for a date.

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

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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 a sweet and juicy hit of melon, immediately brightened by a cool, clean mint. This refreshing aquatic breeze flows into delicate lily of the valley and watery notes, reminiscent of a summer rain. The dry down is a soft, comforting blend of musk and cedar, with a subtle amber warmth, giving it surprising depth for such a light fragrance.
