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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Casual Formal

Its moderate sillage and warm, sensual profile make it perfect for date nights and cooler evenings. While some find it office-appropriate due to its softer projection, its alluring character might be a bit much for a formal setting or vigorous activity.

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

  • 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

Opens with a bright, juicy burst of blood orange and pear, immediately softened by a whisper of pink pepper, hinting at the warmth to come. As it settles, a sweet floral heart of night blooming cereus, jasmine, and rose emerges, adding a delicate, feminine touch. The dry down is a comforting, sensual blend of creamy sandalwood, soft musk, and powdery heliotrope, creating an inviting and alluring aura.
