Gaia is a properly sophisticated woody-floral scent, though it's quite the shapeshifter. Delicate and earthy, green and clean, it's a classy number that plays well with everyone.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

It kicks off with a bright, citrusy splash of bergamot, quickly joined by the serene, almost aquatic lift of lotus and the heady sweetness of jasmine. A hint of nutmeg adds a warm, spicy undertone, softening the florals without making them heavy. As it settles, creamy sandalwood and dry cedar emerge, grounding the whole thing in a warm, woody embrace that feels both natural and refined.
