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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf/Twig Oil from Eucalyptus

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 out of a steamy, herbal bath into a brisk morning. This scent kicks off with sun-drenched bergamot and sharp lemon, quickly joined by the cool, camphorous bite of eucalyptus and aromatic rosemary. The dry down is a subtle, grounded blend of fir resin and cedar that lingers just enough to feel fresh and clean.
