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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • 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

Queen of Hearts opens with a tempting burst of plum and zesty citrus, swiftly followed by a comforting wave of cinnamon and green notes. The heart unfurls with sweet red berries and delicate jasmine, before settling into a sumptuous, almost gourmand base. Rich amber, smoky incense, earthy patchouli, and creamy vanilla create a luxurious long-lasting embrace.
