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:
Office Casual Sport

This scent's clean, fresh, and inoffensive profile, along with good projection for a 'freshie', makes it highly suitable for everyday wear, including the office and casual outings. Its subtle and aquatic nature leans away from formal events or romantic dates where a bolder statement might be preferred.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • 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

L'Eau Pure opens with a bright, sparkling burst of lemon and mandarin, instantly invoking a sense of crisp cleanliness. This quickly deepens into a cool, almost mineral aquatic heart thanks to Aquozone, grounded by a subtle, aromatic whisper of lavender. The dry down settles into a soft, comforting blend of musky sandalwood, leaving a delicate, clean skin scent that evokes sun-dried linen and tranquil waters.
