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.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Mawj opens with a zesty burst of mandarin, orange, and bergamot, wonderfully uplifted by the subtle, crisp aroma of tea. This bright introduction quickly transitions to a heart of sharp ginger and juicy grapefruit, adding a fresh, spicy zing. The base settles onto a clean, soft bed of lily of the valley and musk, ensuring a smooth, fresh finish that lingers elegantly without overpowering. It's a clean, invigorating scent that manages to be both lively and composed.
