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

  • Cassia Cinnamomum Cassia Leaf Oil from Cassia
  • Cassia Cinnamomum Cassia Leaf Oil from Cassia
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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 juicy, sweet burst of blackberry and blackcurrant, instantly uplifting and vibrant. This fruity prelude gracefully transitions into a soft, powdery floral heart of rose and magnolia, underpinned by a delicate whisper of heliotrope. The drydown settles into a comforting embrace of creamy vanilla and warm musk, with just a hint of earthy patchouli adding depth without overwhelming the sweetness.
