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 Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate sillage and longevity, combined with a 'safe' and 'inoffensive' reputation among fans, make it highly suitable for office and casual wear. The unique anise note might be too polarising for formal events or dates, while its lack of freshness makes it unsuitable for 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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Ellen opens with a surprising punch of anise, swiftly accompanied by the soft sweetness of peach and a hint of cotton candy. As it settles, delicate florals like water lily and jasmine emerge, balancing the initial bold notes. The dry down is a comforting embrace of musky vanilla and warm sandalwood, with patchouli providing an earthy backbone that some find subtle and others, thankfully, barely detect. This creates a uniquely soft, yet intriguing, woody musk.
