Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Essential unfolds as an expressive line of development, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The style of Shaka is clear in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.

At the note-group layer the composition is built around Citrus, Floral, Wood and Leather. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to Citrus and Leather.

In the first seconds you meet invigorating sunny first notes: Bergamot and Citrus accord.

In the heart you meet Olive flower and Rosewood holding a velvety rose-iris direction.

The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Citrus, Floral, Wood and Leather without random overlap. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. For persistence High indicates a stable lasting impression. In projection Noticeable shows the style of diffusion around the wearer.

Overall Essential reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best experienced through real development.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
