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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

Madawi opens with a juicy, ripe peach and the fresh, airy sweetness of apple blossom, immediately enveloping you in a fruity embrace. Soon, the exotic pineapple enters, adding a vibrant, tropical zing before settling into a heart of lush wild rose. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of clean musk and earthy patchouli, providing a rich and lasting depth that underpins the fruit and floral exuberance.
