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.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Dark Queen opens with a tempting blend of sweet raspberry and the warm, creamy facet of tonka bean, brightened by a hint of bergamot. The heart unveils a lush, dark fruit medley of blackcurrant, plum, and apricot, adding a juicy, slightly jammy richness. This deep fruity core is grounded by a resinous, amber base of labdanum and styrax, smoothed out with a velvety touch of musk, creating a sophisticated and enigmatic aura.
