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

Its aromatic, citrus and fresh spicy composition leans towards spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its fresh, aromatic profile and moderate presence make it highly suitable for casual wear and the office. While versatile, it might lack the gravitas required for purely formal events or the specific allure for a dedicated date night, though it's certainly not out of place.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Exquisite Potion kicks off with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin, rounded out by a juicy hint of blackcurrant. As the citrus mellows, a verdant aromatic heart emerges, with fresh notes of cardamom, thyme, and basil adding a sophisticated, slightly spicy edge. The dry down settles into a clean, warm base of musk, cedar, and earthy patchouli, underpinned by a subtle touch of ambergris, leaving a smooth, modern trail.
