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

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its sweet and fruity nature, combined with generally moderate projection and longevity (though this is disputed), makes it a great pick for casual wear. It's too youthful and perhaps overtly sweet for formal settings or professional office environments, but could be a fun choice for a laid-back date.

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

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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 digging into a sweet strawberry and apple sorbet, spiked with a zesty grapefruit kick. This juicy burst mellows into a creamy heart of soft jasmine and peony, before settling into a warm, inviting base of lactonic coconut, smooth sandalwood, and a whisper of musk. It's a playful, edible scent that leans into its fruity-sweet heart with unwavering confidence.
