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.

Its delicate, clean floral profile and moderate projection make it an excellent choice for office wear or casual outings, where it's pleasant without being overpowering. While some find it romantic, its subtle nature might be too demure for very formal events. It's often described as clean and fresh, lending itself well to everyday use and even light sport.

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
  • 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

Eternity Purple Orchid opens with a burst of fresh green and watery floral notes, reminiscent of dewy spring mornings. This quickly softens into a heart of lush peach, sweet plum, and powdery heliotrope, all intertwined with the delicate essence of orchid and freesia. The dry-down settles into a comforting, musky embrace, with subtle hints of almond and soft woods adding depth and warmth.
