Mayfair Flair is a Cologne launched in 1999. Flair settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Mimosa, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Mayfair's Flair carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a timeless charmer, harking back to an earlier era but still completely relevant. It’s discreetly elegant, surprisingly good value, and won't offend a soul.

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.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Opens with a distinctive spicy freshness that evokes a sense of nostalgia, quickly evolving into a soft, comforting haze of powdery florals. Rose, jasmine, and mimosa gently blend with a prominent, elegant musk and warm amber. The dry down settles into a creamy sandalwood, infused with a whisper of vanilla and nutmeg, adding a subtle, sophisticated warmth that lingers beautifully.
