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 Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with its stronger, more assertive character, make it less ideal for a close-quarters office environment. However, its romantic and sophisticated floral-chypre profile makes it excellent for dates and formal occasions, and it's versatile enough for some casual 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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

Opening with a sharp, almost citrusy hit of ginger and fresh freesia, this fragrance quickly blossoms into a rich floral heart where delicate rose, aquatic lotus, and soft violet intertwine. The drydown reveals a prominent, clean patchouli, grounded by earthy oakmoss and a soft musk, creating a sophisticated and enduring finish.
