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.

About

Royal Oeillet opens with a lively, almost fizzy blend of rose and black pepper, quickly introducing a complex, spiced floral heart. Geranium and clove weave through, creating an impression of powdery, vintage florals with a peppery kick. As it settles, a soft, woody base of sandalwood and violet leaf emerges, grounding the spice and maintaining a distinct, subtly sweet character.
