Novellista Crazy Rich is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Christian Vermorel. Crazy Rich opens with Mandarin Leaf, Violet Leaf, and Apple, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Ylang-Ylang. Novellista's Crazy Rich carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a divisive floral with a fresh, fruity opening. Several find it a dead ringer for J'adore with an added apple twist. Expect 'shampoo vibes' and decent performance, but the price tag gets some serious side-eye for what many consider a generic scent.

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.

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

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Crazy Rich opens with a crisp, bright burst of violet leaf and green apple, uplifted by a zesty mandarin leaf accord. This juicy freshness quickly gives way to a dominant and smooth white floral heart of jasmine and rose, accented by a subtle, aromatic geranium. The dry down settles into a soft, musky embrace with creamy ylang-ylang and warm sandalwood, offering a clean, comforting finish.
