Love. It's a sweet, floral blast from the past that perfectly bottles early 2000s nostalgia. While some sniff out bubblegum and cheap thrills, most find this a soft, clean, and effortlessly charming everyday scent, perfect for those who dig a playful rose.

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.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best For:
Casual Sport

Office Date

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Opens with a juicy, bright burst of peach and pomelo, lifted by crisp bamboo and zesty bergamot. This energetic start quickly settles into a heart of delicate rose and peony, softened by narcotic jasmine and narcissus. The dry down is a warm, creamy vanilla, gently rounded by exotic ylang-ylang, leaving a fresh, lightly sweet floral trail that evokes a sense of youthful femininity.
