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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate longevity and silage, coupled with its fresh and aromatic floral nature, make it an excellent choice for daytime wear, especially in casual or office settings. It's refined enough for a relaxed date but perhaps too light for a grand formal event.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • 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

Illuminé opens with a vibrant burst of mandarin and bergamot, uplifted by the unique, herbaceous edge of artemisia. As it settles, a clean white floral heart emerges, with jasmine and lily softened by ylang-ylang and a subtle hint of spicy ginger. The dry down is a gentle whisper of musky vetiver, leaving a fresh, refined trail.
