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.

About

Hyde Park opens with a vibrant, juicy explosion of orange and bergamot, sharpened by green petitgrain, before a unique marine-like lift from calone. The heart unfurls with a rich tapestry of white florals - jasmine, orange blossom, and neroli - backed by subtle geranium. The dry down is beautifully grounded by a smooth amber and oud, providing unexpected depth and impressive staying power.
