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.

With moderate longevity and sillage, this isn't going to overwhelm a workspace, making it suitable for the office. Its warm, subtle nature lends itself well to casual wear and day-time use, as noted by the community, though it might be too understated for truly formal events.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Limonene from Orange
  • 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

Silver Nature opens with a subtle, bright citrus burst from bergamot, lemon, and orange, though some find it leaning more towards an unexpected eucalyptus-like freshness. This light, zesty introduction soon mellows into a heart of understated floral notes, adding a touch of gentle complexity without being overtly flowery. The dry down is where it truly settles, revealing a warm, inviting blend of amber, soft musk, creamy sandalwood, and a hint of earthy patchouli, creating a sweet, woody character that some find reminiscent of the festive season.
