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 balanced intensity and 'not too strong' nature, mentioned by reviewers, mean it fits well into most situations. However, its prominent fruity and amber sweetness might be a bit much for a strict office environment but makes it ideal for dates and casual outings.

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.

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 one hits with a burst of bright bergamot and blackcurrant, quickly smoothed by a delicious peach and creamy vanilla heart. There's a subtle white floral lift from jasmine before it all settles into a warm, woody amber base. It's a fresh, fruity fragrance with a sweet, powdery depth that maintains a surprising airiness throughout its wear.
