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:
Fall

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its fresh, clean, and moderate sillage makes it ideal for office and casual wear, as noted by reviewers who enjoy it for daily use. It's not assertive enough for formal events or romantic dates, nor is it designed for strenuous activity, but it works well as an after-shower spritz.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

English Dahlia opens with a bracing, sharp citrus and green apple burst, quickly joined by crisp neroli, giving it a fresh, almost juicy start. This invigorating beginning soon mellows into a heart of gentle, sweet florals, predominantly rose and peony, with an abstract nod to the dahlia. As it dries down, the scent settles into a clean, musky base underpinned by earthy patchouli and subtle cedar, losing its initial sharpness for a softer, slightly woody finish.
