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

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

This one opens with a subtle, clean hint of petitgrain and galbanum, quickly leading into a dominant powdery embrace. Floral heart notes of violet and jasmine emerge, not sharp but soft and rounded, underpinned by a gentle, clean musk. It's a skin scent that dries down to a comforting, almost baby-powder-like aura with a touch of sweetness. Less of a roaring musk, more of a quiet, fresh hum.
