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

  • 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

Wildbloom bursts open with a juicy, vibrant cocktail of guava, pear, and sparkling grapefruit, kissed by the distinct zest of kumquat. This lively fruitiness gently transitions into a soft, blended floral heart of orchid, champaca, camellia, and hortensia, creating a clean and airy bouquet. The base settles into a comforting blend of soft suede, creamy sandalwood, and clean musk, adding a sophisticated depth that keeps the sweetness in check without turning heavy.
