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.

Its moderate sillage and fresh, light character make it perfect for casual wear and even the office, as it's unlikely to offend. The scent's brightness and association with summer make it ideal for daytime activities, though its softer projection might get lost in a formal setting.

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

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Lucky Wish opens with a burst of zesty pomelo, lemon, and tangerine, creating an immediately uplifting and sparkling sensation. This vibrant citrus heart then softens into a delicate bouquet of freesia, orchid, and orange blossom, underpinned by a unique whisper of bamboo. As it settles, a clean musk, warm amber, and creamy sandalwood provide a gentle, comforting base that never overpowers the initial brightness.
