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.

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

  • 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

Unravel 21/38 opens with a fresh, green burst of violet leaf, given a gentle kick by pink pepper. As it settles, a sophisticated heart of powdery iris and delicate orange blossom emerges, creating a soft, inviting floral core. The base grounds the composition with warm cedar and amber, rounded out by a musky depth and the earthy whisper of cypriol, leaving a refined and comforting trail.
