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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • 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

Avant Garde opens with a vibrant, zesty rush of citrus and bright bergamot, instantly waking up the senses. This fresh start quickly melds into a sophisticated heart of soft, sweet jasmine tempered by a hint of spicy, almost camphor-like cardamom. As it settles, a clean musk emerges, underpinned by a creamy amber and a smooth, comforting vanilla, creating a refined and elegant finish with a subtle powdery texture.
