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.

Its long-lasting, transparent musky nature makes it versatile for most occasions, though its more aromatic and fresh aspects lean slightly more casual or semi-formal. It's not too loud for the office but shines beautifully for dates or everyday wear.

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

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • 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

Cruz del Sur opens with sea notes and a hint of mandarin, a refreshing marine breeze quickly followed by the invigorating, mentholated scent of eucalyptus, softened by a delicate rose. As it settles, a warm base of amber, vanilla, and musk emerges, underpinned by an earthy patchouli. It's a transparent, long-lasting aroma that's both complex and inviting.
