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 Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh, subtle projection makes it ideal for office wear and casual outings, offering a pleasant aura without overpowering. However, due to its lighter nature and common association with 'rose water' scents, it might not command the presence needed for formal events or passionate dates. It's also a good pick for sport due to its freshness, but the longevity can be an issue.

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

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

Opens with a bright, crisp splash of citrus and aromatic tea, quickly blooming into a fresh, dewy rose heart. Hints of violet and magnolia add a soft, floral elegance, while redcurrant leaf brings a subtle green, almost watery nuance. It settles into a clean, gentle base of understated musk and a whisper of earthy patchouli, lending a touch of depth to its airy character.
