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.

When To Wear

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its sweet, warm, and generally inoffensive nature makes it very versatile for casual and date settings, though some find it a bit too sweet for highly formal events. Its perceived softer sillage means it's acceptable for most office environments, particularly given its budget-friendly price point encourages respraying.

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

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Opens with a sweet and juicy burst of pear and tangerine, spiced ever so slightly with pepper, before settling into a heart of creamy guaiac wood, fresh peony, and delicate orange blossom. The dry down is a cosy embrace of warm praline, soft vanilla, and milky sandalwood, all rounded out by a hint of rose and skin-like musk.
