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 strong sillage and long-lasting nature make it less suitable for office or sport. The rich, gourmand character, however, is perfect for evening dates, formal events, and special occasions where you want to make a statement.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • 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

Délectation Splendide opens with a spicy kick of ginger and pepper, brightened by lemon and a hint of intriguing anise and tobacco. It quickly deepens into a luscious heart of plum, creamy almond, and praline, intertwined with a sophisticated rose and sweet tonka bean. The journey culminates in a warm, enveloping base of cinnamon, vanilla, musky benzoin, and earthy patchouli, creating a decadent and long-lasting trail.
