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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Pure Red opens with an explosion of fruit - juicy peach, tropical pineapple, sweet pear, and tart raspberry, all given a cheeky kick from a whisper of pepper. This vibrant fruit cocktail then settles into a soft, inviting heart of delicate rose and luminous jasmine, rounded out by creamy vanilla and warm tonka bean. It's a comforting, sweet and fresh aroma that leaves a playful, musky trail.
