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 sillage and 'long-lasting' yet 'light as air' nature make it versatile for casual wear and suitable for office environments without overwhelming. The fresh floral profile leans away from formal occasions, but its clean character could work for daytime dates or activities.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Opening with a zesty burst of bergamot, this scent quickly transitions into a lush floral heart where delicate peony flutters in and out, joined by the creamy, exotic notes of tiare flower and a whisper of tuberose. The base settles into a clean, soft powdery musk underscored by the subtle warmth of cashmeran, creating a light yet persistent aura.
