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.

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

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Step into a crystal-clear spring morning with this one. It opens with a delicate bouquet of dewy rose and cyclamen, brightened by a splash of fresh melon and the subtle, watery essence of lotus. The heart blooms into a lush garden of lily of the valley and peony, before settling into a soft, woody embrace of sandalwood, musk, and a whisper of creamy tuberose and amber. It's clean, fresh, and distinctly feminine.
