Kristel Saint Martin Parfum D'Or is a Parfum launched in 1986. Parfum D'Or opens with Cyclamen, Mandarin, Orange Blossom, and Violet, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Kristel Saint Martin's Parfum D'Or carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This 80s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect vintage glamour with serious projection, though some find its sweet fruitiness a bit much. It's a bargain beauty for those who appreciate old-school opulence, but definitely not for the faint of heart.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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 a rich, syrupy confit of peach, plum, and pineapple, doused in golden honeyed orange blossom and heady white florals like jasmine and ylang-ylang. A spicy clove warmth develops, settling into a powdery embrace of amber, sandalwood, and a soft, sweet musk. It’s a full-bodied, almost chewy scent, with a luxurious, dense texture.
