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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bay laurel Laurus Nobilis Leaf Oil from Bay Leaf
  • 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

Opening with a sharp, invigorating hit of sea water and grapefruit, Steel Grace immediately announces itself. This freshness quickly deepens into a robust, earthy heart led by patchouli, dry oakmoss, and the aromatic spice of bay leaf. The base settles into a rich, masculine warmth with dominant woody notes, a clean musk, a touch of amber, and a subtle, creamy hint of vanilla that smooths out the rough edges.
