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.

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

Glimmer opens with a sparkling burst of bright mandarin and sweet raspberry, softened by a creamy milk note that evokes a gentle sweetness. As it settles, a delicate rose and a hint of vanilla emerge, woven with the subtle warmth of cashmeran. The dry-down reveals a smooth embrace of amber and sandalwood, underpinned by a clean, modern patchouli that ensures a sophisticated finish.
