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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Back To Musk opens with a fresh burst of juicy pear and bright bergamot, softened by the delicate spice of saffron and the clean, central musk. As it settles, a floral heart emerges, with creamy magnolia and ylang-ylang mingling with soft violet and jasmine, underpinned by a smooth guaiac wood. The dry down is a warm embrace of vanilla, creamy sandalwood, and a captivating ambergris, creating a "salty, warm skin" effect that lingers beautifully.
