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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

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

Two notes are given: lemon and bamboo. Lemon provides a sharp, sunny citrus opening. Bamboo adds a green, airy and slightly watery feel, so the zest never turns sugary. With no listed heart or base, this is a short, simple scent that should wear light and crisp on the skin. It is a fresh, cool and easy fragrance that suits warm weather and casual wear.
