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.

Also Works:
Date

Given its delicate sillage and fresh, clean rose profile, this is an excellent choice for office wear or casual daily use where you want to smell pleasant without overwhelming others. Its lightness means it's less suited for formal events where a more commanding presence might be desired, though it's still lovely for a relaxed date.

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

Opens with a bright, crisp pear and a hint of zesty grapefruit, quickly giving way to a dewy, natural rose heart. This isn't your grandma's rose; it's fresh and airy, grounded gently by a clean, subtle musk and soft woody notes in the dry down. Imagine a gentle breeze through a rose garden after a light rain.
