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.

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.

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Sleight of Fern opens with an aromatic burst of lavender and thyme, softened by a hint of fig and the resinous freshness of mastic. As it settles, a floral heart of narcissus and geranium emerges, adding an elegant, slightly waxy touch. The drydown grounds the fragrance in a woody, mossy base of birch, sandalwood, and oakmoss, with a subtle leather nuance and a creamy hint of tonka bean.
