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.

Its fresh, clean, and citrusy nature makes it perfect for casual daytime wear and the office, where its moderate sillage won't offend. Reviews also highlight its versatility for warm weather and all-around daily use, making it less suited for formal or intense date nights where something bolder might be preferred.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • 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

CH L'Eau bursts open with a vibrant, juicy splash of blood orange and lemon, spiced with a hint of pimiento and cardamom. The heart unfolds into a fresh, green tea accord, intertwined with soft rose and bright orange blossom, energised by a subtle ginger kick. As it settles, a clean woody base of cedar and cashmere wood emerges, grounded by earthy vetiver and a smooth musk, providing a gentle, lasting embrace.
