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.

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

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

Le Parfum opens with a delicate floral bouquet accented by spicy depth and woody undertones. The interplay of these elements creates a balanced scent suitable for many occasions. Bergamot brightens the top, iris and violet build a powdery floral heart alongside jasmine, and cardamom adds a gentle spice before sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla settle into a soft, woody drydown that lasts well into the evening.
