Alfred Sung Always is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Clément Gavarry. Always opens with Water Lily, Kumquat, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Iris, Peony, and Honeysuckle, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Ambrette. Alfred Sung's Always carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Always is a soft, pretty floral built on water lily, peony and iris. Kumquat and neroli make the start bright, and sandalwood keeps the finish gentle. Classic and easy, with nothing to object to.

Scent Profile

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.

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

Always opens with water lily, neroli and kumquat, fresh, watery and lightly citrus. The heart is a floral bouquet of peony, honeysuckle and iris. The base of ambrette, sandalwood and patchouli adds a soft, woody and slightly musky finish. This eau de parfum is a gentle, feminine floral that moves from fresh to soft.
