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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

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 Lily opens with a burst of bright, juicy citrus and a surprising, mouth-watering splash of watermelon that’s instantly refreshing. This juicy brightness quickly blossoms into a translucent, dewy floral heart, where water lily and cyclamen dance on a subtle, aromatic breeze of pepper and elemi. As it settles, an earthy, mossy base emerges, grounded by vetiver, lending a natural, serene depth that keeps the freshness from floating away. It's like a cool sip of something delicious in a tranquil garden.
