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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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

Imagine the cool prelude of crisp mint and bright bergamot, briefly dancing before a grand reveal. The heart unveils a robust, resinous woodiness, dominated by cedar and a touch of oud, evoking ancient trees and sun-baked bark. This deep, earthy core is then softened by a delicate rose, imbued with the warm, velvety embrace of ambergris, giving it a rich, luxurious finish that lingers beautifully.
