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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Limonene from Orange
  • 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

Green Mandarin is all about citrus. The opening stacks mandarin, orange, bergamot and lemon, giving a juicy, zesty burst that is bright rather than sharp. Jasmine and rose arrive in the heart to add a light floral softness, and the base is a plain musk that leaves a clean, gentle finish on the skin. It is a short, uncomplicated build, which suits a unisex scent made for daytime and warm weather. If you like your fragrance fresh and easy, this does the job.
