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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Lavish begins with a sparkling burst of bergamot and lemon, instantly refreshing and bright. This vibrant citrus gradually mellows into a heart of subtle rose and warm nutmeg, adding a sophisticated, gently spiced nuance. The dry-down reveals a masterful blend of vetiver, clean cedar, and creamy sandalwood, underpinned by a soft, earthy amber that lingers for hours. It’s an airy, smooth journey from effervescent top to refined woody base.
