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.

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

The top mixes orange blossom, peach, bergamot and lemon for a bright, juicy opening. The heart is white floral: tuberose, hyacinth, ylang-ylang and orchid. Amber, oakmoss, sandalwood and cedar make the base, warm and slightly earthy. Tender Light is a creamy, floral scent that moves from fruity freshness to a soft, woody base, and it feels graceful and gentle throughout.
