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

  • 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.12.12. Rose Eau Intense opens with a bright, zesty mandarin and a subtle kick of pepper, complemented by a delicate, clean tea note. The heart blossoms into a soft, fresh rose intertwined with airy cotton flower and a sophisticated touch of powdery iris. It settles into a warm, creamy base of sandalwood and musk, with a hint of clean cedar, making for a smooth, comforting drydown.
