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:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate performance and fresh, green character make it excellent for casual daytime wear and even sports. It's a bit too unique and less 'perfumey' for formal settings, and while pleasant, isn't a typical date-night choice. It could work for a relaxed office environment if applied lightly.

About

Allégresse opens with a zesty, almost bitter burst of bergamot and petitgrain, giving way to a fresh-cut, vegetal greenness. The hyacinth takes centre stage, smelling natural and dewy, like crushed stems rather than heady petals, complemented by the slightly tart, leafy scent of blackcurrant. The tuberose is clean and subtle, adding a soft floral touch without becoming indolic, settling into a clean, spa-like drydown.
