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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with a gentle floral profile, make it ideal for casual wear and the office, where it won't overpower. It's too subtle for formal events and not invigorating enough for sport.

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

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Rue des Lilas opens with a natural, dewy lilac, green and fresh, quickly joined by the delicate sweetness of lily of the valley and the soft, almost indolic presence of lily. As it settles, a clean, powdery musk emerges, underpinned by the subtle warmth and woody depth of rosewood. It's a gentle, ethereal floral that conjures a quiet spring morning.
