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

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Sport
Also Works:
Casual

Its intensely mineral and unique profile, often described as 'weird' or even 'offensive' by some, makes it a daring choice for formal or office settings. However, its clean and watery aspects, coupled with mentions of it being fresh for hot weather, lend it well to casual and sport use. Its divisive nature means it's best worn when its character can be appreciated rather than tolerated.

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

  • 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

Dive deep into an imagined underwater world with Un Jardin Sous la Mer. It opens with an intriguing mineral crispness, evoking cool, clear ocean depths rather than a typical 'blue' aquatic. A hint of musky warmth mingles with Tiare flower, offering a soft white floral touch, while the Tamanu note adds an unusual, slightly nutty oiliness that grounds the composition in the natural, organic feel of a coral reef. The scent settles into a powdery, somewhat sweet finish, maintaining its aquatic yet abstract character throughout.
