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.

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Ivory Temptation opens with a juicy, bright burst of nectarine and mandarin, quickly spiced up by a generous hit of cardamom. The heart unfolds into a rich, heady blend of orange blossom and Ylang-Ylang, warmed by cinnamon and clove, giving it a deep, almost syrupy sweetness. The dry down is all about that creamy sandalwood and tonka bean, underscored by earthy patchouli and vetiver, settling into a smooth, musky base that lingers for ages.
