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.

Its clean, refined character makes it suitable for office and formal wear, leaning into elegance rather than overt sensuality. However, its strong projection and vintage vibe might be too much for casual or date settings, where a more modern and subtle approach is often preferred.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bay laurel Laurus Nobilis Leaf Oil from Bay Leaf
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Dia 40 opens with a sparkling burst of aldehydes, crisp violet leaf, and a subtle hum of blackcurrant. As it settles, a floral heart unfolds, dominated by a gentle rose, herbaceous bay leaf, and the creamy sweetness of ylang-ylang. The drydown is a soft, powdery embrace of orris and warm woods, grounded by a clean musk.
