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:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

The high citrus and fresh leather make it ideal for spring and early summer, while the moderate woody-leather base gives enough depth for fall. It is less suited to winter's chill due to its light and airy structure.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its clean, fresh, and non-intrusive character makes it excellent for daily wear, the office, and casual outings. The moderate projection keeps it safe and versatile, though it's less formal and not suited to high-glamour occasions.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

Vibrant Leather Eau de Parfum opens with a burst of zesty bergamot and lemon, immediately projecting a sense of crisp cleanliness. The heart is dominated by supple, modern leather softened by fresh bamboo, keeping the composition airy and green. As it dries down, patchouli and papyrus lend a gently woody backbone, but the overall impression remains luminous and breezy. The result is a fragrance that feels invigorating, approachable, and quietly refined-perfect for those who want subtle polish and freshness without heaviness.
