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

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond

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

Essenza opens with a dramatically provocative bitter almond note, creamy and warm, instantly captivating. This quickly melds into a sublime orange blossom heart, which provides a balance of sweetness and light. The journey culminates in a rich, enveloping vanilla absolute base, creating a thick, syrupy, and luxurious scent that lingers on the skin with an almost boozy depth. It's a sweet, warm, and intense experience without being overpowering.
