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.

Best For:

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.

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

Star opens with a burst of zesty bergamot and sweet orange, creating an immediately cheerful and inviting feel. This bright citrus quickly softens into a heart of creamy white flowers, adding a touch of classic femininity. The dry down introduces a warm, resinous embrace of amber and vanilla, grounded by a subtle hint of earthy patchouli, evoking cosy, festive vibes.
