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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate longevity and sillage mean it won't overpower, but the intensely sweet, gourmand nature makes it less suitable for formal or office settings. It shines best in casual, cozy environments, or as a fun date night fragrance.

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.

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

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 stepping into a warm kitchen filled with the aroma of freshly baked goods. Merry Cookie opens with a burst of sugary cupcake, a sweet and inviting welcome. A hint of bright lemon cuts through the initial sweetness, preventing it from becoming cloying, before settling into a heart of rich, buttery frosting. The dry-down features a creamy vanilla and a touch of coconut, rounding out this indulgent, edible scent.
