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.

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

Manhattan opens with a spicy burst of nutmeg and coriander tempered by soft peach, leading into a heart of jasmine and osmanthus. A robust base of sandalwood and patchouli, accented with honey, rounds off this expertly crafted fragrance. Osmanthus and peach give it an apricot-skin sweetness that the honey deepens rather than cloys, and the sandalwood base keeps it warm without weight. It suits autumn evenings and wears close to the skin.
