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.

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.

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

The opening mixes aldehydes, bergamot and apple with spicy and fruity notes for a sparkling, slightly sharp start. The heart is generous and busy: cinnamon, carnation and chili add heat, while rose, jasmine and orchid keep it floral. The base is deep and heavy, with opoponax, sandalwood, civet, amber, benzoin, patchouli and vanilla. The result is a warm, classic, opulent scent that feels full and sensual.
