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

The green, grassy and citrus notes make this scent ideal for spring and summer, evoking freshness, lightness and sun-drenched landscapes. Its subtle warmth and nutty base allow some versatility into early fall but the overall lightness is ill suited to winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its understated projection and breezy, natural character make it perfect for office and daytime casual settings. It is less suited to formal or sporty occasions due to its gentle, contemplative signature.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

Un Jardin à Cythère opens with a rush of dewy grass and sparkling citrus, immediately conjuring images of golden fields under a sunlit sky. The heart is a delicate tangle of olive tree wood and fig, lending creamy, woody nuances and a subtle, natural sweetness. Pistachio lends a gentle nutty warmth, while traces of hay and musk add depth without ever weighing the scent down. Breezy and contemplative, it is an ode to Mediterranean tranquility and effortless elegance.
