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

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Imagine a cool, refreshing wave crashing over sun-drenched citrus groves, but with a surprising, luxurious twist. Bright mandarin and orange notes, sharpened by a hint of pepper and aldehydic sparkle, lead you into an aromatic heart of sea notes and clean elemi. The dry down is where it truly shines, settling into a smooth, creamy base of vanilla, tonka bean, and warm amber, balanced by earthy vetiver and a subtle musk that lingers invitingly on the skin.
