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 Fall

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual

Its gentle sillage and fleeting projection make it perfect for office wear or casual daytime use, where it won't offend. The classic, sophisticated floral profile can also work for dates, but it lacks the punch for formal events.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

Pure Silk opens with a soft, soapy floral burst, reminiscent of classic aldehydic scents from an earlier era. This clean, almost fizzy overture settles into a sophisticated floral heart, conjuring images of powdery rose. As it dries down, a restrained patchouli emerges, grounded by earthy oakmoss and vetiver, all smoothed by a delicate musk. It evokes a sense of understated elegance, like a cherished, slightly faded photograph.
