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.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

Opening with a bracing, almost metallic shimmer of saffron, Aoud Rose Petals quickly introduces a fresh, almost dewy tea rose, supported by a hint of clean oud. As it settles, the initial sharpness mellows, revealing a heart where the rose truly blooms, intertwined with the woody depth of cedar and guaiac wood. The amber then adds a subtle warmth, providing a creamy, sophisticated base that lingers beautifully, feeling refined and poised.
