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.

Its moderate projection and generally soft sillage make it suitable for office wear, as it won't overpower. The sweet and comforting profile works well for casual outings, though for formal occasions, its playful nature might be a bit understated. It's too sweet for intense sport, but could work for light activity.

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
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • 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

Opening with a juicy burst of citrus, including zesty grapefruit and sweet pear, Dance quickly moves into a white floral heart of peony and orange blossom. The dry down is a warm embrace of creamy caramel, soft vanilla, and a hint of musk, creating a gentle gourmand finish that's never cloying.
