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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

The juicy blackcurrant, rose, and aromatic herbal notes shine in spring and fall, echoing vineyard air and soft sunlight. Its fruity-floral heart and mild woody base are less suited to the extremes of hot summer or cold winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Romantic, approachable, and gently assertive, On a Date is perfect for dates and casual social occasions. Its moderate projection and refined fruitiness make it safe for the office, but it's a touch too playful for formal or sporty contexts.

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
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • 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

On a Date conjures the golden hour of a vineyard rendezvous, where tart blackcurrant syrup and effervescent bergamot burst forth, soon joined by a lush, dewy rose and aromatic davana. The heart is a swirl of playful fruits and blossoms, grounded by earthy patchouli, moss, and vetiver, which lend depth without heaviness. Soft musk adds a clean undertone, letting the scent linger like laughter on a breeze. This is a fragrance that sparkles with anticipation and warmth, ideal for those who crave both freshness and a touch of romantic adventure.
