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.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

Vanilla, strawberry and orchid open with a creamy, fruity sweetness. Tonka bean sits in the heart and deepens the vanilla with its warm, almond-like quality. The base is brown sugar, amberwood and musk, which gives a caramelised, woody and soft finish. This is a gourmand scent that leans fully into sweetness, and it feels cosy and inviting, with the musk keeping it close to the skin.
