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.

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

Aqua Hour opens with a bright, juicy burst of bergamot, instantly conjuring images of sparkling ocean spray. This lively citrus soon gives way to a delicate floral heart where peony blooms, soft and dewy. Underlying it all is a subtle, almost salty cedarwood, providing a grounded freshness that feels clean and expansive. Think cool sea breeze meets a blooming garden-a truly refreshing experience from top to tail.
