This one's a proper marmite fragrance - people either love its beast mode performance and unique scent profile or find it an 'unapologetically screechy cry for help.' If you're after something that fills a room and makes a statement, this could be your Chernobyl.

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 nuclear projection and potent musk-amber accords make it unsuitable for the office, where it could overwhelm. It's best reserved for date nights or formal events, where its strong character and sensual vibe can shine without causing a minor public incident.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

Desir du Coeur kicks off with a fleeting zest of lemon before diving into a deep, intense heart of spicy notes. The dry down is thick with musky warmth and rich amber, underpinned by a powdery sweetness. It's a bold, heady blend with an animalic edge that gives it real presence.
