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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

Imagine stepping into a bustling florist, the air alive with the scent of dewy greens and a burst of white and yellow florals. It opens with the crisp, almost watery snap of green stems, brightened by a hint of zesty mandarin. This quickly unfurls into a heart filled with delicate lily of the valley, sweet jasmine, and freesia, giving a realistic impression of a fresh bouquet. As it dries, soft musks and a touch of oakmoss provide a subtle, earthy grounding, keeping the floral energy alive without becoming heavy.
