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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Classique X opens with a juicy spark of raspberry and bergamot, immediately softened by a creamy sweetness. The heart unfurls with luscious orange blossom and rose, before settling into a warm, powdery embrace of vanilla and iris. It's a sweet, floral journey that feels both modern and reassuringly familiar, blending fruit and flowers into a smooth, inviting skin scent with a delicate, comforting dry down.
