Brocard Pavlova is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018, created by Patricia Choux. Pavlova opens with Green Notes, Apple, and Pomegranate, settles into a heart of Amber, Rose, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Raspberry. Brocard's Pavlova carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A truly divisive scent: some find Pavlova a charming, airy fruit bomb, while others are left wanting more-or, more accurately, *anything*. It's a fleeting whisper of sweetness that might just disappear before you've properly noticed it.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its very weak longevity and intimate sillage make it suitable for office wear where it won't offend, and perfect for casual daytime outings. It lacks the punch for formal events or a memorable date, but its lightness works for gentle activity.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Pavlova opens with a crisp, juicy burst of green apple and tart pomegranate, bringing a fresh, almost dewy lightness. This fruity introduction then mellows into a subtle floral heart where soft rose and powdery violet mingle with a hint of warm amber. The dry down is a delicate whisper of woody notes and clean musk, barely sweetened by a faint touch of raspberry, making it a very understated affair.
