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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

Built on rose, fresh spicy and aromatic - a composition that sits best in spring, summer and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Given its sophisticated and warm accord profile, this fragrance leans heavily towards formal and date night wear. While not strictly an 'office' scent due to its richness, it could work in a professional setting if applied sparingly. Its elegance makes it unsuitable for casual or sporty occasions.

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

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

Opens with a surprising burst of fruity blueberry and zesty tangerine, spiced up by coriander, before settling into a truly magnificent rose heart. This isn't your grandma's rose; it's a rich, full-bodied bloom intertwined with delicate lily of the valley and exotic orchid. The dry down is a warm embrace of earthy patchouli, clean cedar, and deep amber, anchoring the floral brilliance with a sophisticated depth. A masterclass in balancing freshness with opulent florals.
