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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf/Twig Oil from Eucalyptus
  • Limonene from Orange
  • 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

Relent opens with a sharp, sparkling burst of lemon, orange, lime and eucalyptus. The heart is soft and floral, built from orange blossom, iris and rose. The base of musk, vanilla and amber warms everything gently. The overall effect is a clean, fresh citrus scent that moves from bright to smooth and slightly sweet as it dries down.
