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.

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
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

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

Imagine the invigorating splash of sea water blended with bright lemon and mandarin, opening Sambalia with an immediate lift. This fresh citrus then gives way to a lush heart of blooming white florals like jasmine and magnolia, warmed by a subtle rose. The dry down is a delightful surprise, anchoring the aquatic and floral notes with a creamy sandalwood and a unique, juicy blueberry-peach sweetness that lingers gently on the skin.
