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 sillage and soft, clean profile make it incredibly versatile for casual and office wear without being intrusive. While elegant enough for formal events, its intimate nature and moderate longevity might necessitate reapplication for longer occasions. It's too delicate for active sports.

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

  • 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

Rose Kabuki opens with an exquisite clarity, like freshly bloomed pink roses in an early morning garden, petals glistening with dew. It's a photorealistic rose, not jammy or synthetic, but pure and natural. As it dries, a soft, clean musk emerges, wrapping the floral heart in a delicate, almost powdery embrace. The overall impression is one of graceful simplicity, fresh and utterly charming.
