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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

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

Pure Femme opens with a surprising twist of carrot and bright bergamot, quickly joined by a rhubarb tang. The heart settles into a creamy, almost lactonic milkiness, interwoven with delicate jasmine and freesia. The dry down is where it truly shines, with a rich blend of warm, earthy patchouli, smooth sandalwood, and a sweet, resinous benzoin that lingers for hours. This isn't a fresh, light scent; it's a deeply textured, sweet-bitter composition.
