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 intimate sillage and clean, airy profile make Ilio perfectly suited for office wear and casual outings where subtlety is key. While some find it romantic, its poor longevity and fresh shampoo-like nature limit its suitability for formal events, but it's great for light 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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • 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

Dive into the Mediterranean with Ilio, a vibrant burst of watery prickly pear and zingy bergamot that instantly refreshes. This juicy opening quickly blends into a soft, powdery iris, lending an elegant, almost cosmetic touch, before settling into a delicate jasmine skin scent. It’s airy, clean, and evokes sun-warmed skin or expensive shampoo.
