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.

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

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

Sunset Flowers opens with an unexpected, dry greenness, quickly joined by the herbal, slightly bitter scent of chamomile. As it settles, hints of delicate violet and subtle rose emerge, intertwined with a tart apple note that adds a touch of fruity brightness. The dry-down maintains an intriguing, almost nostalgic quality, reminiscent of a sun-baked, overgrown garden with dried flowers and grass.
