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 moderate sillage and warm, inviting character make it versatile enough for most settings. It's particularly well-suited for evenings and special occasions where its creamy richness can truly shine, while still being restrained enough for daytime wear if applied lightly.

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

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Heart Of Rose kicks off with a spirited, almost fizzy burst of fresh pepper and cardamom, underpinned by a subtle ginger warmth. It swiftly settles into a creamy, luminous heart where tropical coconut entwines with the rich, heady sweetness of orange blossom and gardenia. The drydown is a soft, enveloping blanket of warm amber, smooth sandalwood, and a whisper of clean musk. It's an exotic escape, but still grounded in sophistication.
