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.

In standard patch-test panels

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

Cedar in Acacia opens with a sharp, bright kick of ginger and the earthy, slightly bitter tang of cypriol. As it settles, a smooth, dry cedarwood emerges, woven with soft, powdery iris and a subtle warmth from cinnamon. Frankincense lends a resinous, almost smoky depth, creating the sensation of an autumnal walk through a sun-drenched, dry forest, far from any sticky gourmands.
