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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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 catching a sharp, cool breeze by the sea, laced with the zesty kick of ginger and pink pepper. Juniper adds a piney, gin-like freshness before ylang-ylang introduces a touch of creamy sweetness. The base is where things get interesting, with earthy patchouli, a salty hint of algae, and the elusive depth of ambergris, creating a surprisingly warm-and-cold, spicy marine experience.
