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.

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

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • 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

Legacy Courage delivers an earthy, resinous warmth right from the jump, a comforting hug of rich amber. The woody heart emerges, grounding the scent with an elegant, almost cedar-like dryness, while a whisper of spice adds a subtle complexity. Underneath it all, a soft, powdery veil mingles with a hint of something animalic, giving it depth and a touch of surprising raw allure. It's smooth, sophisticated, and undeniably grown-up.
