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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection and longevity make it versatile, though some find it a bit too old-fashioned for modern settings. The strong floral and powdery accords suit a romantic or casual daytime feel, while the lack of intensity makes it less suitable for formal evenings or sport.

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

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

An opulent, traditional rose takes centre stage, flanked by the ethereal sweetness of violet and the dewy, slightly green bite of hyacinth. A powdery iris undertone adds a vintage touch, rounding out this unabashedly floral bouquet with a soft, almost translucent quality. It evokes a timeless garden, damp with morning dew, perhaps a little old-fashioned, but undeniably beautiful.
