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

  • 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

Purple Rose opens with a lively, tart burst of mandarin, quickly joined by a fresh, green rose that feels plucked straight from the garden, thorns and all. As it settles, the rose deepens, becoming more velvety and slightly powdery as iris emerges, lending a clean, almost soapy sophistication. A delicate lily of the valley adds a subtle sweetness before a comforting musk provides a soft, elegant finish.
