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
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

The opening mixes saffron, nutmeg, bergamot and pepper, a warm and slightly sharp start. Jasmine, rose and osmanthus form a floral heart that rounds off the spice. The base is built from benzoin, myrrh, amber, musk, sandalwood and oud, giving a resinous, sweet and woody finish. As an eau de parfum it is an oriental amber scent, warm and full, and best suited to cooler days and evenings.
