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.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • 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

Imagine a vibrant entrance with a zesty lime and rum cocktail, hints of sweet orange brightening the scene. This fresh, boozy opening smoothly transitions into a heart of aromatic mint and green geranium, setting the stage for a rich, warm dry-down. Tobacco and soft leather mingle with creamy tonka bean, underscored by amber and a touch of styrax, creating an elegant, intimate, and subtly sweet finish.
