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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Sweet Love opens with a subtle kick of spice and tart blackcurrant, brightened by a squeeze of lemon. This lively introduction quickly softens into a blooming floral heart where delicate freesia and powdery heliotrope dance around a classic rose. The dry down is a warm, creamy embrace of vanilla and sandalwood, grounded by a clean, lingering musk, giving it a comforting, sweet finish that lasts.
