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

Spring Summer

Date Sport

Its weak longevity and moderate sillage make it suitable for close-quarters environments like the office without being overpowering. The fresh, clean notes are perfect for casual daytime wear, making it a versatile everyday option. While pleasant, its soft nature means it might get lost in formal or more energetic settings.

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

Tender Blossom opens with a subtle, juicy hint of melon and litchi, quickly blossoming into a fresh bouquet dominated by soft peony and delicate magnolia. As it settles, a clean musk emerges, underpinned by warm cedar and sandalwood, creating a comforting, creamy drydown that feels like a gentle embrace. It's a fresh floral that avoids being overtly sweet or sharp, settling into a tender, airy skin scent.
