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 longevity and sillage, combined with a fresh, natural floral profile, make it highly suitable for everyday wear, including the office and casual outings. While lovely for a date, its light nature might be overshadowed in very formal settings.

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

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

This limited edition opens with a delicate burst of peony and freesia, evoking a dewy morning garden. As it settles, a fresh, vibrant rose takes centre stage, brightened by a whisper of pink pepper. The base rounds out with a subtle, sweet hint of raspberry and a soft amber, creating a clean and effortlessly feminine dry down.
