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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

It bursts open with an electrifying flash of bright bergamot and sharp lemon, a true citrus explosion that's both invigorating and mouth-watering. This sparkling freshness quickly melts into a green, aromatic heart, where elemi adds a touch of creamy resinous warmth. The base settles into an earthy vetiver and a hint of patchouli, giving it a grounding, masculine dry-down that feels clean and woody. It's a sunshine bottled, designed for warmth.
