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.

The vibrant citrus and prominent white florals make it versatile for many settings, though the underlying sweetness and amber lean it more towards evening and social events than strenuous activity. It’s certainly polished enough for formal wear.

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
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • 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

Imagine biting into a juicy pear and tangerine, brightened by a zesty bergamot, before being enveloped in a lush bouquet of white florals. Neroli and orange blossom take centre stage, joined by verdant petitgrain, leading into a warm, creamy embrace of vanilla and benzoin. Amber-like Serenolide and Ambrofix provide a sophisticated, long-lasting trail.
