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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

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

Musc Impérial unfurls with a lively burst of blackcurrant and bergamot, bright and juicy. This vibrant opening mellows into a heart of aromatic lavender, soft leather, and the unique, creamy green character of fig. The base anchors the scent with a clean, understated musk and subtle woodiness, creating a refreshing yet grounded impression that lingers softly on the skin.
