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.

Its moderate performance and fresh, clean profile make it suitable for casual and sporty settings, with many reviewers specifically mentioning it for the gym or after a shower. The sweet, fruity nature, while generally inoffensive, might be too informal for professional or highly formal environments.

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.

  • 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

Life by Esprit opens with a vibrant burst of sweet litchi and juicy plum, sharpened by a playful hint of pink pepper and sugary cotton candy. The heart unfurls into a delicate bouquet of jasmine and gardenia, intertwined with exotic lotus and a medley of red fruits, adding a fresh, dewy sweetness. The dry-down settles into a comforting embrace of soft cashmere wood, sensual musk, and warm amber, creating a clean, slightly woody finish that lingers subtly on the skin.
