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.

Office

Its moderate projection and balanced intensity make it suitable for dates and casual outings. It can also work in an office setting but may be too warm for formal or athletic 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
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Caïssa opens with a burst of juicy kiwi around a central apricot sweetness, before settling into its heart of fragrant applewood and laurel. A warm undertone of coconut blossom carries through to a woody finish, ensuring a balanced journey from top to base.
