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:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and uplifting citrus-floral profile, make it suitable for casual wear and even the office, though some found it too much. It's too light for formal events and a bit too casual for most dates, but great for active, daytime use.

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

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

Embrace Happiness bursts open with a vibrant, almost effervescent lemon, instantly waking up the senses. This tart citrus quickly softens into a heart of delicate floral notes, where jasmine adds a touch of classic sweetness. A subtle tea accord provides a clean, slightly green backdrop, while guarana adds an unexpected, energising fizz, keeping the whole composition light and uplifting. It's a sunny, clean scent that feels like a fresh start.
