Scent Profile

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.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its intimate sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for office wear, as it won't overpower. The fresh, clean citrus profile is perfect for casual settings and excellent for post-sport refreshment, though it might be too subtle for formal events or a big night out.

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

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli

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

Opening with a zesty burst of lemon, grapefruit, and blood orange, Eau des Minimes Cologne instantly invigorates with its bright, natural citrus. This fresh accord is gently grounded by aromatic rosemary, adding a subtle herbal edge, while soft neroli and pansy introduce a delicate, creamy floral sweetness. The drydown reveals a comforting warmth from benzoin, offering a slightly powdery, vanilla-like finish that lingers close to the skin.
