Divisive. This one splits the room with its intense, almost artificial almond opening. Some find it a comforting gourmand; others, a synthetic headache. Try before you buy, obviously.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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 sharp, almost boozy hit of almond, a surprising contrast to the bright bergamot and delicate jasmine. This quickly mellows into a creamy, marzipan-like sweetness, evoking a delicate pastry rather than a sugary confection. The drydown settles into a soft, powdery vanilla, cushioned by the warm, resinous benzoin, leaving a comforting and persistent trail.
