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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Best Occasions

Best For:

Its intimate sillage and short longevity make it perfect for close-quarter settings like the office or casual outings. It's a bit too understated for formal events, and while suitable for exercise, you'd need to reapply constantly.

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

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Imagine a lavish dessert, drenched in sweet praline, then scattered with fresh, velvety petals, all underpinned by a creamy, milky embrace. It opens with a delicate floral sweetness, quickly mellowing into a comforting, lactonic almond glaze. The fragrance maintains a soft, dessert-like quality throughout, with hints of nuts providing a subtle depth.
