Scent Profile

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 Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its 'light' nature means it wears closer to the skin, making it suitable for office wear without being overpowering. The warm, comforting floral profile makes it versatile for casual settings and lends itself to a relaxed date night. It's less ideal for formal events due to its perceived casual elegance, and definitely not for sport.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • 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

Opening with a gentle bergamot lift, this 'Light' iteration quickly dives into a rich, creamy floral heart. Ylang-ylang and carnation provide a sophisticated warmth, complementing the lush exuberance of tuberose, jasmine, and rose. The base settles into a soft, comforting embrace of vanilla and tonka bean, leaving a subtly sweet and powdery trail that feels both comforting and chic.
