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.

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 and bergamot, Primaverde quickly transitions into a distinctly green, almost herbal core. You get the fresh, dewy impression of crushed leaves and spring blossoms like lily of the valley and freesia. Hints of juicy peach and mango provide a subtle sweetness, keeping the green notes from becoming too sharp, all settling into a clean, soft base of musk and amber.
