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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • 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

Karl New York Mercer Street opens with a vibrant burst of lime, sharpened by a contemporary hit of basil and a whisper of pepper. This zesty top gives way to a unique heart of tart rhubarb, offset by delicate jasmine and a green geranium. The dry down is a clean, understated blend of woody notes, sheer musk, and earthy vetiver, leaving a subtly sophisticated trail.
