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.

Its fresh and clean aquatic floral profile makes it suitable for office wear and casual settings, especially given its often-reported moderate to weak sillage. While some find longer longevity, its typically delicate nature prevents it from overpowering, making it versatile for everyday use.

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

Ming Shu Fleur Rare opens with a crisp, almost frosted impression of lily of the valley and water lily, evoking a cool, fresh stream. The heart blossoms with subtle jasmine and a hint of apple and peach, adding a touch of aqueous fruitiness. It dries down to a clean, understated base of cedar and musk, maintaining its delicate, calm character throughout.
