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 opening is water accord, green notes, honeysuckle and freesia, cool, crisp and dewy. The heart is lilac, peony and jasmine, a light and airy floral bouquet. The base is woody notes, musk and ambroxan, giving a clean, smooth, slightly airy finish. This feminine scent from Estee Lauder keeps everything light and fresh and leans on the watery theme throughout. It suits summer, the gym bag and anyone who prefers a clean floral that is easy on the nose.
