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
Also Works:
Summer Fall

Luminous florals and green freshness shine in warmer weather, making it ideal for spring and summer. Its airy character lacks the density for winter but works on mild fall days.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Elegant yet subtle, this scent suits office and casual settings where its light projection feels polished but never overpowering. Not bold enough for formal evenings or sporty freshness.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • 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

A radiant bouquet of champaca and freesia floats atop cool bamboo and green tea, accented by a subtle spark of pink pepper and neroli. The heart is both creamy and airy, with basmati rice lending a gentle, unusual fluffiness. Musk and myrrh in the base add a soft, clean finish, never heavy or cloying. The overall impression is sophisticated, fresh, and quietly complex, making it a modern signature for lovers of understated florals.
