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

  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Ombre D'Or opens with a bright, almost dewy burst of rose, quickly joined by the exotic creaminess of ylang-ylang and the sharp, green freshness of lily of the valley. It's a rich, traditional floral bouquet that carries a surprising 'old book' dryness, giving it a sophisticated, slightly powdery edge. As it settles, it retains its floral heart, evolving into a clean, almost soapy warmth with hints of subtle spice, evoking images of a well-tended, old-fashioned garden.
