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.

Its intimate sillage and clean, fresh floral profile make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, as it won't overpower. The subtle romantic undertones allow for lighter dates, but its short longevity and lack of gravitas limit its suitability for formal events.

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
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

4711 Rose opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and mandarin, intertwined with the crisp, green nuance of tea. This refreshing introduction quickly yields to a soft, understated rose heart, delicately balanced by the powdery sweetness of violet and the airy touch of freesia. As it settles, a clean musk and creamy sandalwood emerge, lending a gentle warmth and skin-like finish that makes the floral notes feel grounded and comforting. It's a transparent, easy-going interpretation of a classic.
