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:
Fall

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

While not a powerhouse, its moderate sillage and intriguing character make it a strong choice for dates and formal events, leaving a memorable impression without being overwhelming. It's a bit too 'statement' for most offices and definitively not for sports.

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

  • 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

Iunu opens with an almost medicinal, piquant kick of ginger and elemi, swiftly followed by a generous dose of black pepper that lingers. The heart reveals a sophisticated, deep jasmine, softened by ylang-ylang, creating a warm, exotic floral nuance. This then settles into an earthy, woody base of patchouli and oakmoss that conjures images of ancient mysteries and rich, ambered warmth.
