This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a sweet, delicious masterpiece that pulls endless compliments, but don't be surprised if others think you've just doused yourself in a cheap, fruity air freshener or shampoo. Divisive, for sure.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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 juicy, watery burst of melon and bright bergamot, quickly joined by the tropical sweetness of pineapple. This fruity cocktail then settles into a warmer, creamier heart of amber, grounded by a soft vanilla and musk base. It’s a clean and sweet scent, often described as having a luxurious, soapy vibe, with the fruit notes lingering gently into the dry down.
