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 light, fresh, and inoffensive profile makes it perfect for the office or casual daytime wear, often praised as a 'safe scent' by reviewers. While versatile, its moderate sillage and poor longevity, as noted by many, make it less ideal for formal events requiring a more impactful or lasting fragrance, though it could work for a relaxed daytime date.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

This scent opens with a lively, zesty splash of bergamot and grapefruit, delivering an immediate invigorating freshness. As it settles, delicate notes of lily of the valley and freesia emerge, weaving a gracefully floral heart that feels bright and airy. The dry-down introduces a soft, clean musk with subtle woody undertones, rounding off the composition with a gentle, elegant finish.
