What We Do Is Secret Made in Heaven is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Pascal Gaurin. Made in Heaven opens with Mandarin, Magnolia, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Jasmin Sambac, Orange Blossom, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Cereals, Iris, and Vanilla. What We Do Is Secret's Made in Heaven carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's divisive: a full-on gourmand white floral that splits opinion right down the middle. Some call it heavenly, others a cloying, synthetic mess. Definitely not a blind buy.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

With strong longevity and sillage, it's too potent for the office. Its sweet, romantic floral-gourmand profile makes it ideal for dates and evening casual wear, but less suited for formal events or sports.

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

Made in Heaven opens with a bright, syrupy mandarin and saffron, quickly joined by a creamy, heady bouquet of magnolia, jasmine, and tuberose. The floral heart is rich and sweet, with orange blossom adding a touch of luminous warmth. The real curveball is the dry-down, where a unique cereal accord emerges, mingling with soft iris and a comforting vanilla, creating a surprisingly edible, milky warmth that underpins the lush florals.
