ESSENS Men M040 50 ml is a refined masculine fragrance that blends freshness, spice and a warm woody base to deliver a scent with depth and character. Its composition places it in the fougère and floral‑oriental families, making it versatile for both day and evening wear and suitable across seasons.
Scent Profile
Top Notes: The fragrance opens with a sharp and invigorating burst of bergamot and mandarine, giving a bright citrus start. These are combined with orris (orris root) and olibanum (frankincense), providing a resinous, slightly smoky edge that tempers the freshness and adds intrigue.
Heart Notes: As the top notes settle, the middle reveals a complex floral‑spice layer. Lavender offers a soft floral touch, while ginger introduces warmth and a bit of bite. Galbanum contributes a green‑resinous tone, rhubarb brings a subtle tartness.
Base Notes: The dry‑down leans into richness: musk provides softness, vetiver contributes earthy woodiness, patchouli adds depth, and amber gives a warm resinous finish. These base notes ensure longevity and leave a lingering trail.
Quality and Concentration
This perfume features a fragrance essence concentration of approximately 20 %, characterizing it as an Eau de Parfum strength. The higher essence content gives it better performance in terms of lasting power and sillage.
Ingredients
Key ingredients and aroma constituents include: alcohol denat., fragrance (parfum), water (aqua), and various aroma‑chemicals/Additives such as BHT, hexyl cinnamal, alpha‑isomethylionone, linalool, limonene, evernia prunastri (oakmoss) extract, coumarin, geraniol, citronellol, hydroxycitronellal, citral, benzyl salicylate, cinnamyl alcohol, amongst others. These contribute to the scent’s character, stability and projection.
Experience & Wear
When first applied, the fragrance is lively: the citrus notes provide a crisp, attention‑grabbing opening, but they are soon joined by spicy‑floral and green nuances that give the scent body. Over time the warm woods, incense‑like resin, amber and patchouli‑based base emerge, giving the scent grounding and richness. It is likely to develop over the first hour or two, becoming smoother and more subtle, while still retaining good projection.
Because of its composition, M040 works well in cooler weather or indoor environments during the day, and makes a good choice for evening or semi‑formal occasions. It can be worn year‑round, though in high heat and humidity the citrus and spice layers may dissipate faster, leaving more of the woody‑amber base closer to the skin.
Packaging & Presentation
The 50 ml bottle is solid glass with clean lines, simple branding, and a spray nozzle that delivers a fine mist. The design balances elegance with utility, making it suitable for display as well as daily use. The outer box typically matches in style, with clear labelling of fragrance type and company information.
Suitability
This fragrance is ideal for men who appreciate scents that are not overly loud but carry complexity. It appeals to those who like citrus‑wood combinations, who enjoy a hint of spice and warmth, and want something that transitions from workday to evening. For those accustomed to designer fragrances with similar profiles, M040 offers a strong value proposition in terms of fragrance complexity and staying power.
Important Notes
Because of its fragrance‑chemical content, those with sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities should test first. The perfume contains common allergenic compounds, so patch testing is advisable. As with all alcohol‑based perfumes, storing it in a cool, dark place will help preserve its scent integrity over time.
