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.

This EDT's fresh and clean profile makes it ideal for everyday wear, particularly in an office setting or for casual outings where you want a reliable, unobtrusive scent. Its balanced nature also means it won't be out of place in more formal situations, though its sillage might be too subtle for a grand statement.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood oil Santalum Album Oil from Mysore Sandalwood
  • 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

Oudywave opens with a vibrant burst of citrus - bright tangerine, grapefruit, and bergamot - sharpened by a kick of zesty ginger. As it settles, fresh notes of rosemary intertwine with the soft, powdery elegance of magnolia and a hint of delicate rose, grounded by warm, clean blond woods. The base emerges as a smooth, creamy blend of Mysore sandalwood, cedar, and vetiver, enveloped by a subtle, skin-like musk and the gentle sweetness of tonka bean.
