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.

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

A delightful embrace of juicy fruits opens the show, with mandarin, peach, and plum creating a sweet and inviting first impression. The heart blossoms into a rich, creamy floral bouquet of tuberose and ylang-ylang, adding a touch of classic elegance. This opulent floral core then settles into a warm, earthy base, where a sophisticated blend of cedar, patchouli, and a hint of vanilla provides depth and a comforting finish. It's a journey from vibrant fruitiness to floral indulgence, grounded by woody warmth.
