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

Other declarable allergens

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

Imagine a vibrant splash of citrus, where zesty bergamot and bright clementine meet a slightly bitter chinotto kick. This lively opening quickly transitions into a soft, watery bouquet of lotus and jasmine, underpinned by a delicate, creamy rose. A whisper of coconut adds a touch of sun-kissed sweetness, while a smooth blend of sandalwood, subtle fruit, and clean musk settles into an effortlessly elegant dry down. It's fresh, balanced, and utterly charming from start to finish.
