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.

Best Occasions

Its moderate performance and clean, fresh profile make it ideal for daily casual wear and the office, without being overwhelming. While pleasant, it lacks the boldness for formal events or a truly impactful date night scent.

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

  • 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

Cyan has only six notes. It opens with ambergris and jasmine, a smooth floral start. The heart is iris and violet, soft and powdery. The base is musk and black elder, smooth and gentle. With such a short note list, it is a minimalist, understated scent that is calm and quiet in character.
