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.

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

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Virginian cedarwood Juniperus Virginiana Oil from Virginia Cedarwood

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

Fireside Bourbon opens with a rich, inviting warmth, immediately hitting you with a distinctly boozy, spiced note often compared to a cola-like sweetness. As it settles, the robust Virginia cedarwood emerges, providing a dry, aromatic anchor, complemented by the earthy depth of patchouli. A hint of geranium adds a subtle, almost herbal facet to this otherwise warm and woody composition, evoking a cosy evening by a crackling fire.
