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.

Best For:

Also Works:

Its warm, enveloping nature makes it fantastic for dates and cosy casual wear, as many reviews highlight its comforting qualities. While some find it too strong for everyday office use, its moderate sillage and 'not too sweet' rose-vanilla balance means it could work if lightly applied. It's a bit too rich for formal events and entirely unsuitable for sport.

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

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Eugenia Caryophyllus Leaf Oil from Clove
  • 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

Rose Ispahan opens with a rich, velvety rose, not jammy or overly sweet, but spiced and deep. A creamy vanilla weaves gracefully through, providing a cosy warmth that's amplified by amber and a touch of patchouli for sophisticated earthiness. Hints of mimosa add a powdery, floral softness, creating an enveloping, luxurious aura that settles into a sensual, oriental glow.
