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.

Its moderate performance makes it versatile enough for day or night, though the rich, sensual profile leans more towards evening or cooler weather. It's a bit too opulent for a casual gym session but perfect for a date or a sophisticated event.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

This scent opens with a warm, almost spicy embrace of saffron, quickly melding into a heart of rich, full rose and creamy white florals like jasmine, tuberose, and ylang-ylang. As it settles, a deep, enveloping amber and earthy patchouli emerge, creating a smooth, rounded, and subtly sweet foundation that feels both luxurious and comforting. It’s a sophisticated floral oriental that balances its potent elements with grace.
