A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of 442 Active unfolds as a continuous scent journey, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Yardley is evident in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Musc and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Secondary accord layers such as Amber and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The profile is masculine, which clarifies the composition character.
In the top tier you meet invigorating sunny opening notes: Bergamot, Black Pepper, Neroli and Orange.
When the opening settles you notice Jasmine and Rose keeping a creamy tuberose direction.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Citrus, Spicy, Floral and Whiteflower. The palette also extends to Ambery, Wood and Musk. At family level the scent maps to Fern and Spicy.
In summary 442 Active reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best judged through real development.
