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.

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its clean and natural scent profile, make it highly suitable for casual wear and the office. It's often cited as an 'office-safe' and 'easy to wear' fragrance, though its simplicity might not be enough for formal events or a memorable date.

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

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

Eva opens with a bright, crisp burst of bergamot and lemon, giving an immediate clean and fresh feel. This lively introduction soon mellows into a subtle heart of spicy notes and a distinct peppery kick, adding an interesting edge. The journey concludes with a grounding base of woody notes and earthy vetiver, creating a refined and understated finish that feels both natural and elegant.
