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.

With eternal longevity and enormous sillage, Bengal is a powerhouse. It's best suited for special occasions and nights out, as its intensity might be overwhelming for casual or office settings unless applied very sparingly.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Bengal opens with a spicy, herbal kick of davana and ginger, underscored by bright bergamot. This quickly transitions into a deep, luxurious heart where a prominent leather note intertwines with earthy patchouli and a sophisticated rose. The dry down is a smooth, creamy affair, as soft suede, warm amber, and sweet vanilla blend seamlessly with sandalwood, creating a rich and long-lasting trail.
