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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The ultra-bright citrus and fresh green character make this ideal for spring and summer, while its subtle woody base is too light for winter but works in the early fall.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual Sport

Its airy citrus brightness is perfect for office, casual, and active settings, but it may be too sheer and breezy for formal occasions. Its non-intrusive nature works well for day-to-day use.

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

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove

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

Pomelo Eau de Parfum opens with an exhilarating burst of honey pomelo-think the juiciest grapefruit dialed up to maximum brightness-quickly joined by a soft touch of rose for a petal-fresh lift. The heart brings in vetiver and a whisper of clove, adding a grassy earthiness and faint spice, while the base is a gentle blend of suede and patchouli. The overall impression is sparkling, streamlined, and breezy, like the sensation of a cool citrus breeze on a crisp morning. Effortless and modern, never heavy or sweet.
