This is a fun, flirty blast of sweet fruit and vanilla that's hard to dislike. If you want something sugary and bright without being overly complicated, this is a safe bet.

Scent Profile

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.

Its vanilla, citrus and fruity composition leans towards spring.

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

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Imagine biting into a juicy, sweet apple while sipping a vanilla cream soda, all under a bright citrusy sky. Crystal Scent opens with a burst of zesty lime and orange, quickly softened by the lush sweetness of apple and blackberry. A creamy vanilla heart takes over, warmed by a hint of musk and the delicate touch of water lily that keeps it from being too heavy. It's a powdery, sweet, and fruity delight from start to finish.
