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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With enormous sillage and a rich, powdery character, this scent is too dominant for the office or casual daytime wear. It truly shines for intimate dates and sophisticated formal events, especially in colder weather, where its warmth and elegance can be fully appreciated.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

20 For Woman opens with a fleeting burst of bright bergamot and mandarin, quickly deepened by the rich, jammy sweetness of blackberry. The heart unfolds into a luxurious floral bouquet, where romantic rose and heady jasmine intertwine with a distinctive, powdery iris. This sophisticated blend settles into a warm, creamy base of sandalwood and cedar, softened by a touch of vanilla and a sensual, enveloping musk that lingers beautifully on the skin.
