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
Also Works:
Fall

The crisp citrus and green tea notes make this extremely fitting for spring and summer, when a clean, airy freshness is most welcome. Its lightness is less suited to cold weather, where it may feel too sheer and struggle to cut through the chill.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its soft projection and clean, easygoing profile excel in office and casual settings, and it is refreshing for sport. The understated, transparent character is less aligned with formal or romantic occasions that demand richness or sensuality.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

Under the Lemon Trees opens with a rush of zesty lime and petitgrain, evoking the feeling of wandering beneath citrus canopies on a bright spring morning. Green tea and mate infuse a refreshing leafy nuance, while soft cardamom and coriander add an airy, aromatic lift. The drydown is gentle and transparent, with clean musk and cedar lending a subtle woody base. The overall effect is invigorating and quietly joyful, perfect for moments when you crave a breath of fresh air with a touch of Mediterranean charm.
