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
Also Works:
Fall

Built on floral, green and aromatic - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, delicate aroma is perfect for casual settings and office wear, as it's unlikely to offend. While not a bold date night scent, its subtle elegance could work for a quiet outing, but it lacks the gravitas for truly formal events.

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

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

Eau Blanche opens with a delicate zing of bergamot and the aromatic freshness of sage, swiftly joined by the green, slightly peppery kick of shiso. The heart blossoms into a soft, airy floral bouquet where peony and rose mingle with a subtle tea-like nuance. It dries down to a clean, understated base of musky driftwood, leaving a faint, comforting whisper on the skin that's refined and utterly inoffensive.
