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 Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, inoffensive character and low sillage make it suitable for office wear and casual outings. However, its poor longevity means it's not ideal for longer events like dates or formal occasions, while its clean nature works well for light sport activities.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • 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

Imagine freshly washed cotton sheets drying in a gentle breeze, with a hint of sunshine and soft fruitiness. This scent opens with bright notes of juicy peach and sparkling citrus, softened by the clean, airy embrace of rainwater. The heart blooms with delicate cotton flower, lily of the valley, and a touch of lavender, evoking a sense of innocent purity. It settles into a warm, subtle base of suede, musk, and sandalwood, leaving a barely-there, comforting skin scent.
