A pretty, delicate rose that's perfect for warm weather, though its fleeting nature is a common complaint. Don't expect it to last for an all-day affair, but it’s delightful while it’s there.

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:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Built on woody, citrus and rose - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its light, airy composition and common sentiment of being a 'safe' scent make it ideal for casual wear or the office. However, its poor longevity means it might not hold up for longer formal events or a full date night without reapplication.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Woody amber musk Tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes from Iso E Super

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 bright, juicy burst of blackcurrant and litchi, immediately freshened by a zesty bergamot. The heart blooms into a classic, dewy rose, softened and rounded by a breath of peony. It settles into a clean, subtly woody musk with a modern touch of Iso E Super, leaving a light, airy trail.
