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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

A vibrant blast of cool mint and sparkly aldehydes greets you, uplifting and clean. This invigorating opening swiftly settles into a heart of aromatic clary sage and warm wood, adding a subtle green depth. The dry-down emerges with creamy vanilla and tonka, wrapped in smooth sandalwood, leaving a comforting, slightly sweet, and soft powdery trail. It evokes a feeling of fresh laundry and bubblegum sweetness.
