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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • 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

Cancer by French Avenue opens with a bright burst of citrus, where zesty bergamot and sweet mandarin orange lead the charge. This quickly softens into a creamy heart of sensual orange blossom, underpinned by a clean, aromatic whisper of lavender that keeps it from becoming cloying. The base settles into a warm, inviting embrace of rich vanilla and deep amber, providing a long-lasting, confectionary sweetness.
