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

  • 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

Imagine strolling through a dewy rose garden at dawn, the air thick with fresh blooms. This scent opens with a burst of lush, dewy peony and jammy rose, quickly followed by a sharp, invigorating kick of fresh pepper. As it settles, warm amber and earthy patchouli emerge, grounding the vibrant florals with a sophisticated, slightly woody depth, reminiscent of a crisp, peppery tea.
