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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Temptatio unfolds like a lush fruit basket, bursting with the sweetness of passionfruit and ripe peach, layered over vibrant blackcurrants. As the initial fruity explosion settles, the heart reveals a stunning floral tapestry woven with ylang-ylang, jasmine, and delicate rose, creating a romantic yet powerful composition. The base evolves into a warm embrace of sandalwood, tonka bean, and velvety vanilla, infused with a hint of patchouli and sensual musk, giving it an alluring depth that lingers on the skin long after application.
