ILIOS Cancer is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Maximiliano Cifuentes. Cancer opens with Bergamot, Grass, Coconut, and Mint, settles into a heart of Petitgrain, Ginger, and Elemi, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Vanilla. ILIOS's Cancer carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

ILIOS's Cancer is a polarising scent, loved by some for its unique green coconut and detested by others who find it too sharp or synthetic. It's a bold choice that you'll either adore or dismiss completely.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

Built on aromatic, green and fresh spicy - a composition that sits best in spring, summer and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, aromatic profile makes it quite versatile for casual and active wear, but the distinct green-coconut combination might be too assertive for formal settings. It's an interesting choice for a date if you want to stand out, but might be too distracting for the office for some.

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
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Cancer from ILIOS opens with an unexpected jolt of fresh-cut grass and bright bergamot, softened by a tropical hint of coconut and a whisper of cool mint. The heart transitions to an aromatic blend of petitgrain and spicy ginger, with a resinous, slightly peppery elemi. As it settles, a clean, dry cedar and earthy vetiver form the base, underscored by a subtle, creamy vanilla, creating a multifaceted green and woody character with an unconventional twist.
