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

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond

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

Captive opens with a luminous burst of sweet orange blossom and delicate jasmine, a bright and inviting welcome. The heart unfolds into a soft, powdery embrace of heliotrope and a delicious, creamy almond note, adding a gourmand touch without being overtly foody. As it settles, a whisper of patchouli and a gentle haze of incense emerge, grounding the sweetness and adding a subtle, sophisticated depth that lingers beautifully.
