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 Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Built on fruity, white floral and citrus - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, fruity floral character makes it highly suitable for casual wear and even office settings due to its generally inoffensive nature. While pleasant for dates, its brightness might be too informal for truly grand occasions. It's also a great pick for active 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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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

Gardenia & Cassis bursts open with a juicy, bright hit of peach and mandarin, underpinned by the crispness of redcurrant leaf and pear blossom. The heart blossoms into a creamy white floral embrace of gardenia and jasmine, sweetened by ripe pear, with a subtle kick of clove adding an intriguing warmth. It settles into a smooth, comforting base of sandalwood and amber, grounded by a hint of earthy patchouli, leaving a clean, inviting trail.
