Scent Profile

Composition

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Purple Trace opens with a warm spice bomb of saffron, cinnamon and nutmeg, brightened by mandarin, bergamot and ginger, echoing the layered, high-impact opening of the BORNTOSTANDOUT original. The heart is rich and indulgent, blending radiant orange blossom with creamy caramel and vanilla for a gourmand-leaning sweetness that balances the spice. As it settles, a deep, smoky base of oud, patchouli, labdanum and amber takes over, delivering the woody, resinous power the original is known for. It's a bold, long-lasting oriental spicy scent designed for evening wear and formal occasions, capturing the niche original's opulent, oud-driven character at a fraction of the cost.
