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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and clean profile, make it highly suitable for casual wear and the office. It's too light for most formal events, but its invigorating nature works well for sport and low-key daytime dates.

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
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • 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

Alatau opens with a crisp, aqueous burst of red fruits, cool mint, and bright lemon, immediately transporting you to a serene, dewy landscape. The heart unfurls into a delicate bouquet of hyacinth, orange blossom, and lily of the valley, lending a clean, slightly sweet floralcy. As it settles, a sophisticated earthy base emerges, with hints of pine, vetiver, and oakmoss, softened by a touch of iris and warm amber, adding depth and a gentle muskiness.
