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.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Date Formal

Given its powerful floral projection and long-lasting nature, Fantasia de Fleurs is best suited for formal events and special date nights where its opulent presence can be appreciated. It's far too 'big' for casual wear or the office, and certainly not for sport.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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 fleeting, bright zest of bergamot before plunging into a rich, heady bouquet. Bulgarian rose takes centre stage, lush and deeply floral, intertwined with the subtly powdery, earthy elegance of iris. As it settles, a warm, sensual ambergris emerges, grounding the florals with an animalic depth that gives it a classic, opulent character. Imagine standing amidst a vibrant, ancient rose garden, sun-warmed and intoxicating.
