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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its soft sillage and delicate nature make it highly suitable for office wear and casual settings, as it won't offend. While romantic, its lack of projection means it's less ideal for formal occasions where a more impactful scent might be desired.

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
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Pretty Swan is a balletic pirouette of powdery vanilla and sweet fruit. It opens with a bright apricot and a subtle hint of pink pepper, settling into a fluffy, lactonic heart of heliotrope and jasmine. The base unfurls into a creamy, comforting blend of basmati rice, soft musk, and warm vanilla, with an ethereal oakmoss whisper.
