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 Sport
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its clean, fresh, and subtle character makes it highly suitable for everyday wear, including the office and casual outings. While elegant enough for some formal settings, its relaxed vibe makes it less ideal for very formal events. It's a great option for warmer weather, suggesting its versatility for active casual use.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Truth Lush opens with a bright, clean burst of bergamot and the unique, subtly green aroma of bamboo, instantly transporting you to a dewy, tranquil forest. The heart blossoms with a soft, natural rose, gracefully blending with the earthy woodiness that underpins the composition. As it settles, a creamy sandalwood and warm amber emerge, providing a sophisticated, comforting finish without ever losing its fresh clarity.
