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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

This is a powerhouse, often described as 'bombastic' and 'crazy powerful,' which means it'll likely overwhelm an office environment. Its bold, sensual nature makes it perfect for dates and evening casual wear, but its intensity might be too much for formal settings or any physical activity.

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

  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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 a humid evening in a lush, enchanted garden after a heavy rain. Flying Fox opens with an intoxicating blast of heady, almost narcotic jasmine, bright and indolic. This powerful white floral heart is softened and deepened by the creamy, exotic sweetness of ylang-ylang and palmarosa, lending a subtly honeyed and slightly rubbery nuance. Underlying this floral intensity, a green woody cypress note adds a grounding, aromatic freshness, preventing it from becoming cloying and giving it an earthy, natural edge. It's a surprisingly complex and potent floral, leaving a trail of sweet, woody jasmine.
