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.

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

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Born in Paradise opens with a vibrant burst of juicy watermelon, crisp green apple, and exotic guava, instantly whisking you away to sun-drenched shores. The heart reveals a creamy, lactonic coconut mingling with tangy pineapple, evoking the essence of a pina colada. It settles into a soft, warm base of sandalwood and musk, leaving a sweet, tropical trail that's utterly intoxicating and effortlessly playful. It truly is summer in a bottle.
