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

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

A complex dance begins with an initial pop of ginger and pink pepper, swiftly transitioning into a warm, spicy heart. Orris, saffron, and cinnamon entwine, creating a rich, slightly powdery and sweet warmth. As it settles, a smooth sandalwood and musk base emerges, maintaining the saffron's intoxicating presence, giving it remarkable depth and a luxurious, sensual edge.
