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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its elegant and seamless blend makes it perfect for office, and the fresh, green, fruity notes lend themselves beautifully to casual daytime wear in spring and summer. While too refined for sport and perhaps a bit 'daytime' for formal evening events, it certainly holds its own on a 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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

Diorella opens with a bright, crisp burst of bergamot and lemon, softened by a unique melon note that feels surprisingly fresh, not overly sweet. The heart blossoms with lush honeysuckle and jasmine, intertwined with a delicate rose and peach, sitting on a deep, earthen chypre base of oakmoss, vetiver, and patchouli. It’s a complex dance of green freshness, sun-ripened fruit, and grounding woods.
