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

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

Ethereal opens with a whisper of fresh mastic and a delicate, almost tart, blackcurrant. As it settles, the heart emerges with an unexpected, earthy carrot marrying seamlessly with the soft, iris-like bloom of orris and a touch of lily of the valley. The dry down is a warm embrace of musk and cedar, grounded by a sophisticated, salty ambergris that lingers like a soft, woody skin scent.
