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
Also Works:
Fall

Its rose, citrus and amber composition leans towards spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

The sweet gourmand and floral accords make it ideal for dates and casual wear, projecting an appealing warmth. While pleasant, its sweetness might be a bit much for a formal setting. It's passable for a relaxed office if applied lightly, but definitely not for sport.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

Core Memory opens with a zesty burst of lemon, quickly melting into a plush, sweet heart of rose and creamy vanilla. The dry down is where the magic happens, with delicious toffee notes mingling with a soft, clean musk and a hint of intriguing ambergris. It's a comforting yet utterly modern composition - a sweet hug that's never cloying.
