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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Opens with an exhilarating burst of sparkling aldehydes and bright bergamot, cutting through the air with a clean, almost effervescent quality. This gives way to a lush, opulent heart brimming with a garden of white florals- creamy gardenia, heady tuberose, and sweet jasmine, underpinned by the delicate freshness of lily of the valley and the velvety touch of rose. As it settles, a soft, green earthiness intertwines with a rich, creamy sandalwood and a subtle, lingering musk, grounding the floral extravagance with refined depth.
