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

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the citrus signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.

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

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

Water Split is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Rive d'Ambre. It opens with Citruses, leads into a heart of Amber, and dries down to Bergamot, Lemon. The overall character is citrus with amber and fresh facets. Rendered for value, it is a little simpler and quieter than the designer version, yet faithful to the core character and easy to reach for day to day.
