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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its sweet and aromatic profile, along with a darker edge, makes it highly suitable for dates and evening events. While not overly loud, its refined character allows it to work for casual wear and even formal settings, though perhaps a bit too alluring for a strictly professional office. It's definitely not a sport fragrance.

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

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • 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

Opens with an intriguing, slightly bitter aromatic blend of absinthe, anise, and fennel, immediately setting a dark, sophisticated tone. This sharp opening smooths into a calming lavender heart, which provides a clean, herbaceous balance. The base deepens into a warm, inviting mix of creamy vanilla and soft musk, creating a smooth, sweet, and subtly powdery dry down that lingers beautifully.
