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.

Its fresh and non-offensive profile makes it ideal for office and casual wear, though its subtle projection and questionable longevity mean it won't shine for formal events. Many reviews highlight its 'work-appropriate' and 'everyday' nature.

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

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

Opens with a zesty, bright mandarin that quickly merges with a delicate peony, creating a fresh, effervescent top. The heart unfolds into a creamy white floral blend of jasmine, sometimes with a tropical coconut whisper. It settles into a soft, musky-woody base, clean and understated.
