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

  • 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

Vanilla Silk opens with a dry, almost chalky vanilla that quickly evolves into a complex scent, far from a simple gourmand. The creamy vanilla heart is softened by a subtle musk, lending an inviting warmth without becoming overtly sweet. Hints of toasted marshmallow and delicate woods emerge, creating a comforting yet sophisticated aura that lingers on the skin.
