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 Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Given its very weak longevity and intimate sillage, this fragrance is best suited for casual, personal moments like relaxing at home or as a 'bedtime scent'. It's too subtle for formal events or sports, and barely makes an impact in office or date settings without frequent reapplication.

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

Imagine stepping into a turn-of-the-century boudoir, where fresh violet and iris petals mingle with the delicate whisper of violet leaf. A soft, powdery embrace settles, warmed by a gentle musk and the subtle, almost melancholic hint of opoponax. A whisper of lilac and a fleeting juicy raspberry add a touch of innocent sweetness, creating a timeless, comforting aura that evokes a bygone era.
