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 strong sillage and potent floral character make it less suitable for an office or casual setting. However, its grand, elegant, and sensual profile, often described as 'ravishing' and 'important,' makes it perfect for formal events and date nights.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Imperatrice Eugenie opens with a bright, crisp flash of bergamot and lemon, a fleeting sparkle before the floral heart takes centre stage. Rich, dewy jasmine dominates, closely followed by a royal, sweet rose. This potent floral blend settles into a luxurious base of warm amber, creamy sandalwood, and a subtle, comforting vanilla, creating a powdery yet deep finish.
