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

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

Orchidee unfurls with a delicate bouquet of floral notes, underpinned by the exotic sweetness of vanilla. A fresh, almost green spiciness from hyacinth and a subtle warmth from hibiscus weave through, creating a clean yet inviting aura. It's a harmonious blend, balancing bright floral facets with a soft, comforting spice. Imagine a gentle breeze carrying the scent of blooming flowers through a warm, quiet room.
