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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • 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

279 opens with bergamot, warms through an orange blossom heart and finishes on patchouli, tracking MYSLF's fresh aromatic-woody structure. A recognisable but stripped-down budget alternative. It follows MYSLF's clean, modern shape and stays comfortably office-safe, but the orange blossom fades faster than the original's and the woody base does most of the work.
